both are equally important, but remember that the main thing is to never run out of money !

What do you consider more important: luck or skill in poker?

I believe if you depend on luck alone, you won't get anywhere, you need to have the skill and game plan. But also,luck plays such a big part in poker, sometimes you just run good, bad hand/good hand, you are just smashing every flop.

I think luck is a big component to winning in poker, but if you do not have enough skill then you will end up losing all the money if you play long enough.

 

[R.Holynskyi]

What do you consider more important: luck or skill in poker?

I think luck is still more important. Although both are key factors, luck is more important because it is not dependent on you as opposed to your skills.

 

[rufininha14]

I consider skill better than luck, of course a little luck always helps, but skill and experience make all the difference when playing, knowing how to read your opponent to be able to put together the best strategy to play

 

[Flyer35]

My brain tells me that skill is most important, but my experience tells me the opposite.

If you have two equally skilled players, one is lucky and one is not, who wins the game? If one has lots of good luck over the long term (25 years for example) and the other has lots of bad luck over the same period, who becomes rich?



And, if you argue that the odds are that each will be lucky or unlucky the same amount of the time on average, consider that the odds are based on an infinite number of tries. So yes, over a million years it WILL all average out. But the next 25 years represent a tiny, tiny fraction of a million years (0.0025% or 1/40,000). So the odds that each will be equally lucky/unlucky over the next 25 years are astronomically low.

While luck and be seen in every hand we are given, poker is a long term skill game. Skill is more important than luck.

Always skill. What percentage of pots do you think are settled without showing cards?

 

[NightStalker]

I think poker is 80% skill and 20% luck.

 

[A kiravio]

If you play based only on luck, you will make the worst losses. Good luck!😉

 

[Poker Orifice]

The only way that luck can be more important than skill for a player is if they suck at the pokerzz (aka 'don't have skill').

Honestly guys/gals it's a totally ridiculous question.

There's a saying: without luck you can't win a tournament and it's true o/

 

[jonasz warzecha]

Skill is when preparation meet opportunity
Luck will help in late stage of tournament but skill take you there

 

[Mbushe]

I think you need the ratios like 70% luck and 30% skill. Your skill will determine your consistency, cause you won't have luck on your side every time.

Poker is 100% skill and 50% luck.” ~ Phil Hellmuth
This quote accurately reflects my view of the game

 

[19aleks57]

Live poker - 70% - skill, luck - 30%
online poker - 20% - skill, luck - 80%

When you don’t have good capital to survive bad luck, you don’t have many opportunities to use SKILL to prove which one is right.

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

In the long run, skill wins. You may get lucky a few times, but if you play for a long time I will choose skill.

Hello. Nothing falls from the sky, everything requires a minimum of effort. Even if you don't have a lot of capital, in time you can accumulate, little by little it becomes a lot and in the end you really don't care much anymore these statistics. I hope I'm not seriously offending anyone. Have a nice day!

 

[dangbaonguyen93]

You always have to be alert, skill or luck are needed.

 

[steve01991]

more skill, the right bets at the right time always win,

 

[tw082]

I believe skill will obviously win out in the long run. Skill only becomes greater. While luck will always run out.

 

[Lucho.riv9]

It depends on what we are talking about. If you're referring to how you will do in a specific tournament, it's probably 95% luck. However, if you play that tournament 1,000 times, luck stops being an important factor. The more hands you play, the more your skill and knowledge will stand out. Ultimately, I would say poker is 15% luck, 85% skill.
