you are a competent and skillful specialist, you are playing the right game, you know how not to frighten your opponent away, but a great deal of trouble awaits you on the river...

I believe that with good skill, we can reduce our losses when we face a lucky one.
and when we are lucky, having skill we can win much more.

Whenever I see a thread similar to this one, this quote from Jesse May comes to mind.
“Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill part is hard, but they're wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck.”

Luck decides the cards you get, it decides the board also
A skill will allow you to play in certain situations, but when luck is not there no matter how you play you will lose

Both are fundamental because it's no use having all the skill and not having a bit of luck, the villain always wins by luck in the end.

What do you consider more important: luck or skill in poker?
For me, luck is more important. Without luck, you definitely won't win, but without skills, you can be a winner. We can improve our skills on our own, but I think it's quite difficult to improve our luck :)

I think poker is luck, it's a game of chance, I don't think it's similar to chess.

The main thing is skill; an aggressive style of play requires luck.
