[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="2"][COLOR="Navy"]From over the 2 decades I have been playing poker with its various forms, here is my best breakdown of the "skill VS luck" factor:

1)Texas Holdumn = 20% skill & 80% luck
2)Five card stud = 23% skill & 77% luck 
3)Omaha = 25% skill & 75% luck
4)Seven card stud = 30% skill & 70% luck
5)Any non community poker game with 4 or less wild cards or a "bug" = 32-36% skill & 68-64% luck (knowing the odds and how the hands can change with these different factors helps out a bit)
6)Five card draw = 34% skill & 66% luck
7)Five double draw and Low Five d.d. (best would be 2s3d4h5s7c) = 36%skill & 64% luck
8)Five card triple draw= 38% skill & 62% luck
9) Kn0ck poker / "rap" poker / rummy poker = 42% skill & 58% luck
-As with any card game, the more cards that are played, so 2 goes up the skill factor (well, with the exception of "War").[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

I don't want to hear the argument that "luck evens out over the long run" mumbo jumbo because that whole concept has to be based on how long you get to live and/or how long you get to play poker for (which is a nonquantitative "X factor"). .. IF you would be an immortal with the moral conviction not to cheat, then, with that scenario, I could see skill being on par with luck or perhaps slightly outweighing it :jd4:
