Well skill is obviously an important factor, otherwise there wouldn't be people making a living out of it. The percentage you used there I'm not sure if I agree nor if it's possible to actually quantify how much luck and skill there is involved. If you're a pro playing HU deep against someone that know's shit about poker I'd say skill is the most important factor there by far. If you're playing on a tournament with 1000 people where evetyone knows well the game, but you're a bit better, luck will probably play a more important role than skill in this case even though your skill is "better". Now to be a profitable poker player luck only counts to a certain point. If the way you play is EV- you can only be profitable to a certain point, maybe some weeks, months or even a year. Now ifthe way you play is EV+ you may loose money for this amount of time, but in the long run you should be almost guarenteed to make money, and the opposite apply for the EV-. So if you take a single tournament match, maybe you can say that luck was a 90% decisive factor for the win, and if you take a deep HU match skill was 90%. Now if you take 10+ years of playing, you will see that skill is probably somewhere close to a 99.99% factor to make money, and luck has almost no importance.
