I am more along the lines of 50/50 ratio, cwdignus. At least in my limited experience, a lot of the hands I was involved with were going to play out the way they played out regardless of skill or luck. A skilled player can maximize his good luck and minimize his bad luck, but he can't eliminate it altogether no matter how hard he tries.
I think the player's skill in poker comes to the fore. Especially for long game distances where less chances are given good luck and a great role plays the skill.
But luck plays a specific role. Luck in poker is applicable for games at short distances (for example, a turbo tournament where the blinds increase faster than usual). Here at one point have to put all-in and count on luck.

Let's say it's a lot more skill than luck, but you have to be lucky to make a nice move. Sometimes you're almost won and the villain goes all-in before the river and right on the river. He got the victory, it was his luck and his bad luck. Then you need to have skill, but you must have a bit of luck too.
the main reason i play cash games instead of tournament is because cash games leans more to skills than luck.
the more leaks in your game you remove the higher the chance of you earning more, thats where leakbuster helps me 🙂. well there are some downswings and bad beats but for me, its better than relying too much on luck.
