It is little to do with poker but contingent on the player.

I play tight aggressive - I wait for a decent hand then attempt to capitalize on it. I can raise or try to trap to extract the most value. But essentially I am [U]passive [/U]throughout much of the game and even if I believe I am a good/sound player I depend on luck to bring me good cards...and when I run bad, my game is weak.

Therefore luck is more of a component of my game than I would generally like to admit.

On the other hand take a player such as Chino Rheem. When Rheem gets in flow and sizes up his opponents he puts them relentlessly to the test via aggression and strong raises. He literally mopped the floor at the PCA main event to take the title.

To command, to intimidate the entire table is a skill set of some magnitiude.  The fact remains this type of player, one who can captain a table for extended periods (to conclusion) is playing at 90%+ skill with the cards/luck being a small to insignificant factor.
