I think patience is more important at the start, luck needs to stay motivated, and intelegence to keep going.

It's an extremely skill game, intelligence with refinements of luck, you just have to observe in the long run that they are always the same at the final tables, rarely any intruders by luck but most of the time they are always the same at the final tables that proves the skill of the player and his intelligence to choose the best actions during the tournament.

I would say more skills than intelligence in the long run and obviously a lot of luck in the short term

Skills are the most important thing. Experience is also very important. And luck is a relative concept, then it is there, then it is not)

There is some skill ( or just your personality traits ) involved if we play 1milj hands against heads up, but to have some profit or fun with poker, luck can get you there.

intelligence, knowing when to make moves and how to play your hand is tops in my book.

Hello, Everybody! By my opinion, in Poker is all important: and skill, and intelligence, and luck, of cause! And also...the many other things!..
And this all is not separately, I think, but this all is together and at once!

I believe that skill and experience are more important than luck. Nevertheless, luck is also a necessary element, since without luck it is impossible to achieve good results.

I think the correct order would be intelligence, skill, and luck. I believe that luck is a factor that you cannot be without at a poker table.

Skill is directly linked to intelligence.

I believe skill always trumps, but a bit of luck will always be needed.

Poker is a game. Playing poker successfully requires skill, experience, and luck. These are the three necessary components, but all this must be based on the patience and discipline of the player. In my opinion, the most important are the patience and discipline of the player.

I've just recently come to realize poker is just a way of thinking.

For me it's a very complex way of thinking because it's about maths, psychology, patience, situation awareness, emotional intelligence, being cunning with the betting patterns, grit, having fun, memorizing ability, resilience, experience, self-control, luck, and much more I am unable to think about right now, are mixed into the act of playing poker. I'm trying to improve with tiny steps every day and enjoy the process.

I find it beautiful, enjoy it and never stress about it.

it's all that together, especially in a tournament you need it all, but the ability will show in the long run
