Poker Skill "Thoughts"

Luck vs Skill
OR
Skill Vs Luck

Tournament A:
200 players
Skill level average 5 out of 10
Your skill Level.... 7.5 ( just a number, NO one thinks they are a 3! LOL

Your skill gives you an edge over 1/2 the field
Random cards means your against an higher skilled player 25% of the Time.
Lower skilled player 75% of the time
Luck now brings you ( variance) brings you down to 23% because the best advantage ( equity ) aa vs XX.
75-23 is now 52 /48 or a coin flip.......

Get over it..... Thats the best you can do....

LOL

poker is a game of skill, luck can help occasionally, but not for long

80 percent of all the players win 20 percent of all the money, at least that's my hunch.

You can play your best game, but if others are getting the better runouts, even if it isn't against you, your skill won't help you much when you're the small stack near the final table.

I've watched plenty of tournaments and it just seems to come down to who can weather the storm of suckouts and runouts and make it to the final table several hours later with as big of a stack as possible.

Luck is unbeatable in poker, but skill and patience play a big role.

Patience, experience, there is a mind that can be used, there is no need to rush and drift to the high card

I think experience and skill certainly have a large part in poker, but without luck sometimes nowhere, so luck has a separate place in poker I think we've all seen this in poker
