Reminds me of these two quotes. 😀
Poker is a combination of luck and skill. People think mastering the skill part is hard, but they’re wrong. The trick to poker is mastering the luck. Jesse May.
If there weren’t luck involved, I would win every time. Phil Hellmuth
Hi! I think short-distance poker is luck, and long-distance poker is skill. But I think a lot of people will say that. When you play a little and experience and knowledge is not enough, it seems that everywhere bots and luck is not on your side. But when you see the experience of professional players, you understand how much skill plays a big role.
skill vs luck, no science can determine that ratio, as skill should define when you put in your chips, with the knowledge of what the chances of your hand holding up or hitting are.
Luck is simply the variance of, so when you put in those chips at the right time, you should win more than lose.
You are gambling from behind if you're open ended or on a flush draw (or both) as it misses more than it hits, even though online it feels like nobody misses...so one needs to weigh the costs vs the reward...your chip stack vs bet size, your position, when will the next full moon be 😉
Even though this might be my first post on here, feel free to criticize, or add essential oils to the discussion 😉

I will try my theory one more time - simplified equation:
Luck plays into EVERY hand - 50% good luck and 50% bad luck. It is always there.
Skill plays into EVERY hand - do we maximize the 50% good luck opportunities, and do we limit the 50% bad luck opportunities.
If two players are presented with an identical series of hands, the more skillful player will maximize/limit better than the less skillful player (unless of course the less skillful player guesses better).
Good luck and God bless

You start off with an equal math equation that is unproven and also cancels itself out. So really, why no state that if you take luck out of the picture, skill is the main factor and everyone is lucky and it evens out.
So luck doesn’t contribute to any long term variable and the most skilled players have an advantage. Essentially luck contributes zero percent to the over all statically players success and skill is the deciding factor?
