Skill puts you in the position to get the luck.

There is no doubt that luck in poker is one of the main ingredients for success.

Id say luck especially when I see 2 5 off suit win a lot.

Sariane · Jul 30, 2021

we need luck and intelligence in the skill case

Both

Anyone that says that poker is pure luck or skill does not know what they are talking about. Poker is still a form of gamboling and there are better hands that you can be given than others which is the luck aspect along with what comes on the flop turn and river. However, the skill comes into place when it comes to how you value bet, bluff, play in and out of position and play your starting hand.

You can be a professional player or a very good player, but if you are not lucky with the cards, a lot cannot be done ... that's why I think it is 70 skill and 30 luck

I agree completely! Exactly 70% is knowledge of poker, But 30% is definitely LUCK. Good luck to everyone in the game !!!

I think you can be lucrative with this 70% of knowledge

So I think it’s more easy you can be lucrative with tournament against cash game or spin& go.

Because of the multi table, time of the game and strategy for play.

Clash game to be desonest and spin it’s very fast…

individual skill and what defines a tournament champion:deal:

Both, there are players with more luck than skill, and other players with more skill than luck.

zerosalex · Aug 10, 2021

If you are skillfull and u understand different types of brains and types then you can do good. Plus if you are lucky than it can become a profession. That being said I rather be lucky than skillfull. Luck comes from above. Skill it depends on your discipline. If you are both then its good.

myquickwit · Aug 11, 2021

It is definitely more skill than luck but luck does play a big factor, especially in the short term. You have to run good. You have to win flips. All these things involve luck.

aviatorsam · Aug 11, 2021

Now i think it's more skill than luck

firerain · Aug 11, 2021

For MTTs,. It is luck in the short term and skill in the long term/

Blackchipp · Aug 11, 2021

u need both to won a big tournament, skill can give more chances, lucky too
but a lucky fish vs lucky pro (with skill) = lucky pro winner
lucky u cant choose, but skill u can choose study a lot, so...
GL to luckers...

Is it possible that one could just be a lucky person and not a skillful poker player? After looking at my poker career and all the hands I have made, the two bad beat jackpots I’ve won, the rare events, the royal flushes/straight flushes/quads after it all....it makes me stop and look at my life and I see it all over again, born with gifts other adore, been put in situations which others only dream off. After it all... I ask....am I just lucky?

If you are playing poker for fun and is not your primary source of income, you can say poker is luck. But if you are playing poker to make money and is your income source, you can't even think of luck.

hi

Hello friend, everything is probability and that does not say that you are going to win, remember that you have to take into account the discarded cards, and those are the ones that are difficult to know.

danoscar · Aug 11, 2021

Hello. Four words...stats work, luck helps.

GrindFreak · Aug 11, 2021

70/30 skill/luck I guess
