What do experts say about how much luck and how much skill are involved in poker, and what percentages do they usually give to each when it comes to winning for both new and experienced players?
This issue is very complex, as I believe that skill is at least 95% and the variance is 5%... luck in poker does not exist, as in each hand the opponent will always have a winning percentage, whether in a flip - 50% or 20% in a pocket pair dominated by a premium hand or in other situations in Ax versus Kx...

I think it's around 70 % skill and 30 % luck, but a lucky player can still make a skilled play and then you might as well just give them your stack😋
