There are all kinds of figures bandied about how much Luck and Skill is involved in Poker. The one thing you cannot argue with is that there will always be an element of Luck involved, When you consider that there are 52 cards in the deck, which are shuffled and cut before every hand is dealt, There is no way you can remember which cards are going to hit the Flop, Turn and River. After seeing one card and expecting then to be in the same order as the last hand.
So yes some players just get lucky, but the skilful players will generally win more often over a series of hands. The main skill is sizing your bets, You want callers when you are in the lead with the best hand, Too small and you are missing out on gaining chips, too big and you risk losing the Fish .
Getting that balance right is very important, and if you can convince your opponent that you are bluffing in a hand when the fact is you are holding the "Nuts" then you just give them enough rope to hang themselves. That takes Skill.
