luck is 90% of a poker game easy
online poker is completely rigged, I play for fun.
You definitely need luck in poker; without it, you won't be able to conquer massive fields, no matter if you're a super pro. It’s a fact that some players are luckier than others. Watching players from Asia, in particular, makes you wonder if they know how to boost their luck—especially when they go all-in with any two cards.
I think luck is part of online poker, just like live poker. In one hand or one tournament, luck can decide the result. But over many games, I believe skill is much more important. Good players make better decisions consistently, and that helps them win in the long run.
I agree skill matters long term, but short-term variance is real. For fast, transparent gameplay I use moonbet.co for their instant Tron deposits and zero fees. Their RTPs are clear, and blockchain audits help me focus on decisions instead of worrying about luck.Westonyfaul said:
If you play enough, you'll eventually get lucky in some tournaments, because that's just how poker works. But you shouldn't rely too much on luck. Good players aren't going all-in on flips all the time; they try to build their stack gradually by winning pots without taking unnecessary risks.
All poker involves having some luck now and again nothing to do with playing online itself. At the end of the day poker is really pretty simple......you start with the best hand pre-flop more times then villain in the long run and the best hand holds more often then not. What makes poker hard is ego, feelings and lack of discipline. 90+% of players have way way too much of the first 2 thing of them 3 things and below zero of the last thing.

"Good morning everyone. A poker player shouldn't rely on luck to turn a profit or make money — instead, focus on making the correct plays and studying. Over time, luck will end up on your side. I say this because, in my best results playing large field tournaments on GGPoker, luck was on my side and I won a lot of all-ins, finishing 2nd in an MTT with over 3,000 players. In another situation, I hit the bad beat jackpot: I lost with quads on the flop, and on the turn my opponent made a straight flush. I've been playing poker since 2018, and I can say the luck factor isn't that important — some days will favor you and others won't."
Luck plays a huge role in online poker, especially over the short term. You can make the right decision and still lose because the cards don't always cooperate. That's what makes poker both exciting and frustrating.
However, over thousands of hands, luck becomes less important than skill. Players who consistently make better decisions, manage their bankroll well, and stay emotionally disciplined usually come out ahead in the long run. I try to accept variance as part of the game and focus on playing my best rather than worrying about individual results.

I found that the huuuge tourneys on GG have unbearable variance, even at micro stakes. I much prefer playing tournaments of about 100-200 people. Even with 9 man sit and go's you really should be rolled for about 50 of them, I would say.
Skill and poker strategy are what helps the result. Luck plays a part when you all-in pre-flop, which you should not do so much on a regular basis.
