Imagine that you need good hands to win a pot. But pretending to have good hands to win a pot is where all the skills come from.
You already answered your question yourself. It's a game of skill, whoever manages to demonstrate the best hand wins.
But poker is more than that, for example, it is necessary to have a reading of who is playing against, in addition, a continuous analysis of the metagame is necessary. so it's more complex than just showing a hand.

But in general, yes, it's a game of skill.

Poker is a game of chance:rolleyes:
Chances are you have enough skill and patience to wait for your luck to kick in :LOL: so the cards will fall your way.

Both of course. Skill is a good and necessary poker asset, luck sure is also nice to have when you pull out that impossible hand.

A both, you need skills to make money, you need lucky to win hands.

I think poker is about 25% a game of luck and 75% a game of experience and skill. I've seen how professionals play live poker, how these people read each other's hands, how they bluff and win big pots. There are a lot of nuances in poker that a player must take into account in order to play well. Professionals, or they are also called regulars, are those players who take into account all these nuances. When I play poker, I always keep track of what position I am in, what position my opponents are raising from, what size bets or raises they are making, and many other factors. When I meet a person at the table who does not know all this, it is easier for me to play against him.
