Luck or Skill?

[MauroMMMM]

How is the performance of a poker player evaluated? Is skill and knowledge more important? How much does luck and variance influence? A good hand with a bad decision can make you a tournament. What do you think?

 

[Havik]

Skill is the biggest factor of course and then you start to factor in variance. I think you also need to be good at controlling your emotions.

Hello.
I am convinced that a player's skill is more important than his luck. Only skilled players have a chance to become successful players in the long run.

 

[Iryna Stryzheuskaya]

Luck is good, of course, but everyone needs to train the skill. Luck is not enough.

 

[pokerdebit]

Skill should definitly be your foundations of your games
And with some luck you gain some extra succes

Luck or chance alone wont get you far

 

[anadrijav]

For me 60% of skill and knowledge and 40% of luck.

Skill and knowledge is important in poker, short-term results due to variance are neither positive nor negative, but in the long run they will be thanks to your skills.

poker is for me 60% skills and 40% luck therefore knowledge and skills so it is more important than luck without a doubt

The skill is the most important. I have been watching for years that, if you are playing a lot in some consecutive days, you become more good player due to playing the game a lot. If you take a long break and then play again, in the first days you will be playing a lit bit more stiff and strange.

Also, the luck is the other important part of the game. Without this, you can not win, even if you are the best player in the world. . But you need more skill and taking the right decisions than having luck. To succeed in poker you must have both things - luck and skill, but the skill must be more than the luck.

 

[Mahdi]

long-term skill, short-term luck, simple as that

 

[Hiritachi]

Luck is an important part of poker. But in order to properly take advantage of luck, you need to have knowledge and training.

 

[abpoker]

I think skill and knowledge are definitely more important. For the most part, over time, we are all subject to the same luck and variance in this game of poker. It is our skill and knowledge that allows us to best navigate through the luck and variance minefield.

I think you can have a good day of poker because of lucky, but in the long run to be a successful player you need to have poker skills.

skill and knowledge in cash games luck in tourneys lol

 

[Alex70793]

Of course, the skill is important, but without luck in poker, it is also hard ))).
For example, in tournaments with a smooth structure, with long levels, skill is more important, with a percentage of about 85% skill and 15% luck.
In turbo tournaments, there will already be about 70% skill and 30% luck.
In General, the faster the poker the less skill and more luck.

 

[COMIRRR]

I believe that luck in poker has a small share compared to knowledge and skills

 

[Ahoy]

Poker is only luck. Skill doesnt matter. Only if you are lucky or not matters.

 

[Suzana2304]

Poker is about luck and brave , you must know the rules , but 90% is about luck.

 

[GRIN281289]

Luck is very important for online games, skill improves with the number of games played. The main thing is to take a break in time, so that in case of a series of failures, you do not go into tilt.

 

[1nsomn1a]

Of course, skill and bankroll management. A lot of luck hurts, especially when it turns away from you.

Skill vs. Luck

Skill is essential vs. luck 100 per cent, there are plenty of players out there that just go all in pre flop. This is not good poker and this is just my view as to playing check, bet. I have said this many times those with a big bank roll are not worried about losing and play carelessly. If you want to make the final table or the cut off to get paid you play smart and there is no luck involved just skill. Eliminate the luck and you will move up slowly but surely. Capo1014

 

[Ianmacca99]

Skill is a bigger factor which is why you see a lot of the same players contesting the later stages of tourneys that being said you need your hands to hold up down the stretch aswell so luck definitely plays a part around 70/30 I would say.

 

[Maggio_A]

I would go 50/50 here people are talking that skills are much more important but without luck there is a lot of downs, tilts and so on...its hard to play like that

the performance of a player is evaluated with results, a good result is achieved with a serious work of good luck and skill, this set of good luck and skill occurs in the moment that comes the cards with which the skill that are : AA KK AK JJ QQ 1010 99 and etc .... when these cards come you play high and the ability to have evolved good luck becomes valid in training after training, tournament after tournament ... until the point of win.

Skill will allow you to survive early in the tournament but you will need luck to get to the final table (or win the whole thing).
