Poker, Game of Luck or Skill?

[detroitjunkie]

is what skill based or luck based?

 

[IntenseHeat]

This is a poker forum. So I will assume you're asking whether poker is a skill or luck based game. But from the wording of your question, you could just as well be talking about Monopoly. Assuming that you are talking about poker though, my opinion is that although there is an element of luck to it, poker is primarily a skill based game.

I would say that It's craftsmanship backed by good fortune

Skill more important than luck. If played right will be crucial to have the skill. Especially it will affect the race.

Poker is about skill and luck.
Chess for example is all about skill.

 

[dejan85]

is combination luck and skill,but if you count on luck you will never be a good player......

poker is a skilled based game, but there are elements of luck

I think that often playing in tournaments where a lot of participants allows you to reach a level where you will play one on one or three players for you to win

I'm giving advantage to luck, from my view prospective it is the most important factor, experience is not worth if you can't hit anything on board, and some non experienced player will won even over Daniel Negreanu when the luck is his ally.

In the long run experience allows you to overcome other factors with good decisions saving you bad bets

 

[Mr Alvim]

No doubt the experience. With experience we can bluff luck!

 

[Lubzhen]

I'm thinking that the most important thing when playing poker is a learning experience. And a good hand reading opponent.

With experience and studying the opponent , I have a chance of winning the hand on the flop.

I agree...the luck for poker it s like gassoline for cars

mr alvim i agree...experience its very important....but from my own general experience i realized that luck beats experience so fregvently.

 

[AlexBred]

experience 80% + luck 20% = result

Then in its great perspective names like Daniel Negreanu , Andre Akkari , Chris Moneymaker , Nanonoko , among others, are lucky and not Experienced ? It's like the friend said there , experience 80 % , 20% luck . All these big names I mentioned above come in FTs of major tournaments through good luck or experience?

Mr.Alvim fact, with experience gained then we will be well to play poker

If it's in a freeroll or microlimits, luck comes first. You can't bluff some begginers that will go to the river waiting to hit something, no matter what you've done pre-flop/post flop they will call you very often.

I agree , freeroll and micro is too difficult to apply such a bluff .
