"Does luck or skill prevail in poker?"

[RALF_AK]

What do you consider more important: luck or skill in poker?

The skill will certainly be more relevant in the long term, luck ends...

I think it's 50-50. Although what I experience on 888 is bingo

As Chris Ferguson (2000 world series of poker Main Event Winner) said: A day in poker is 90% luck and 10% skill. A year in poker is 10% luck and 90% skill. I agree with him here, I also believe that if you do everything right in poker, then victory will be on your side. The dealer deals you a card and after that everything depends on your decisions. You choose the hand with which you enter the game, and you also have the choice to fold. After you see the flop, you decide to continue the game or you also have the opportunity to fold if one of your opponents made a bet. Poker is a game that is entirely made up of your decisions, no one forces you to pay money here by force). And of course there are bad beats, coolers and dominations - these are exactly the 10% of luck that Chris Ferguson talked about.

Convincing an opponent that his card is stronger than mine, but at the same time beating him is a very important component of poker for me. I am constantly learning this.
Is it luck or skill?
It's just poker.

In my opinion, we should learn to dance with both.
However, you need to have Skill to be able to count on luck. But you don't need luck to be able to count on the Skill.

Luck is definitely more important. If you are lucky, then your skill simply does not matter. But if you are unlucky, then despite all your skill and professional skills, you will not be able to achieve a good result.
