Success in poker - skill or luck?

[monkeytilter]

It's definitely a skill game in the long run, but I'd say it's around 55% skill 45% luck for those with an actual skill edge.
Those thinking it's much higher skill, I'd say you are deluding yourselves, look at your win rates/roi, somewhere around the 10% mark for a decent winner?
Poker is brutal.

Off course its more skill game , but also you need luck in this game , without luck hard to win .

 

[anasslaaleg]

In the long run, skill is the dominant factor in poker.

 

[kecoakbogor]

in my opinion :
skill / strategy 50%
mental 40%
luck 10%

skill is key,... although sometimes it takes a little luck

HáSkill takes you far, luck makes you play anyway. I used to be that player who played without any idea and often won by luck. When I learned the gameplay, I was able to reach the final.

My first final table in silver, after I learned how to play correctly I started to go far

You can't choose this combination of factors, and in my subjective opinion, there is no luck without skill. Only with skill can you win the tournament.

Skill and luck - luck to get the cards and then the run - skill with what to do with them and when and how

 

[bowserdon]

The worst player can beat the Best player with a little luck

 

[ancakeul]

I think you need 100% skill and 99% luck during a tournament you meet many situations where you also need to be lucky

 

[Shooter74]

60 % Skill
40 % Luck...

A high level of skill will result in greater success in the long run, which is why you see the same faces often on the TV final tables. A good dose of luck is always appreciated in the short term for the quick win (then leave the table!).

More experience than luck...

On live poker skill matters more in order to be eventually a winner . But live , rng matters more than skill or luck . I guess it's the skill to manipulate rng .
