Luck or Skill: Which is More Important?

Vonick · Feb 5, 2017

well you have to know the game and have the skill to calculate your pos and each hand and make some good gueses about your opponrnts hand, but....you have to be lucky too.there is a percentage i think about 60-40 skill luck.

nutthink · Feb 5, 2017

both important but skill more important.. you can create luck if you have good skill.. "bluff"

Nazar Fedyk · Feb 5, 2017

Psychology also plays a big role, often high skilled players know how to read their opponents and catch crazy bluffs

Key to the success of finding the weaknesses of opponents and their operation.
A card, so only the tool for that ... So - the ability to

i think you need them both, how good you are without some luck, i think its gonna be harder to win.

Mazak · Feb 5, 2017

IMO more important is skill, luck is also needed like in every RNG game much more important than luck is ability to hide your emotions

Tulipaneiro · Feb 5, 2017

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

SweatPea · Feb 5, 2017

combination of both, skill prevails, but theres a lot of variance.. having luck always helps. i say 80%skill 20% luck

adrianB1989 · Feb 6, 2017

Skill is the most important,if you have enough skill you can avoid luck.For me it's 90% skill and 10% luck

Istvan Gal · Feb 6, 2017

I think 80% skill and 20% luck

There are many new players, even not so beginners who assert that in poker the most important are the results and money, that everything else are fables that people are invented to justify their performances when these, the results, do not accompany.
These players are probably right in part because poker is, of course, a game where the most important are the results, but not in the short term as they believe. The goal of poker is to make money, but as if it were a marathon, in the long term and that is only achieved with correct decisions, even though at the time have not provided the expected results.

Skill.
Skill and knowledge are more important if you as me. Knowing when to fold and stuff.
You can't win without luck though. At least that is my opinion.

braveslice · Feb 15, 2017

Two player with same amount of luck competes 1 million hands, which player of these has more money after this?

Derifish17 · Feb 15, 2017

I mainly win online wen I get some luck but wen I play live its all about the skill

Lila66 · Feb 22, 2017

I think that skill and continuous improvement, both tehnically and mentally, is a lot more important than luck.

plyto777 · Feb 22, 2017

I agree with the previous commentator. luck is important but it is secondary - important skill!

bravissim0 · Feb 22, 2017

I think that ability. Because win big tournaments the players who work very hard on my game. Random winners are very few.

Narcizzist · Feb 22, 2017

Everybody needs luck here and there but the better player is going to win more often than not.

Poor players dont fluke their way to tournament wins.

TeUnit · Feb 22, 2017

the shorter the time frame the more luck is important the longer the time frame the more skill is important

diadiavalik · Feb 22, 2017

All these factors are very important. But it is important to be a good psychologist and the ability to read the enemy and do not open it. Good luck and eating ability to hide their emotions.
Opponents could not prochytat feet.
The ability to read the enemy, and then good luck to good luck!

Vin Keyzone · Mar 5, 2017

Statistics is the key. The Law of Probability plays a big factor. It may not be 100% accurate but knowing the odds should direct you to an intelligent decision. But intuition plays a big role when trying to read an opponent. Think too much you miss on signals given out by your opponent. You observe and feel too much you then make premature and irrational decisions.

You need to find the balance....

GRANDPAPA929 · Mar 5, 2017

The ability to play always comes first, but good luck in the game never hurts.

Emixilian · Mar 5, 2017

Luck is very important on a short session of poker .. but skill comes in when you play poker longer, and the luck is in your hands somehow

sakenby · Mar 5, 2017

Luck will not help to win the tournament overall,but in individual the distribution of luck is essential...

Jacob123 · Mar 5, 2017

Agreed, in a tournament it will most likely be skill that gets you close to the final table, but you are likely to need some form of luck to win
