Is poker a game of luck or skill?

[Claudiunm]

You need to have skill to be able to count on luck...
And you need your own control to be able to use both together.

it's 30% luck and the rest skills

I think it's lucky, there are days when it seems like everything works out for you and other days nothing comes out.

To the ones that vote for luck or skill and luck. Maybe playing 5 million hands against a professional would help you to overthink your decision.

I think that in poker 75% of success comes from skill and 25% of success comes from luck. In poker, everything can be calculated using mathematics: odds, pot odds, outs. Thanks to this, you will know when it is profitable for you to call someone else's bet and when it is not profitable. You can also learn the psychology of your opponents (this applies to live poker), and you will understand when players are bluffing and when they have the nuts. And of course, bad beats happen in poker, but in Hold'em this doesn't happen often; in Omaha there are many more bad beats.

Poker is a game of skill and luck. But more luck

 

[ShaDoWGuarD]

I think poker is both skill and luck. You can't say that a person who plays poker profitably is very lucky or that he always wins because he is a master of his craft. Everything here is interconnected, you need to constantly work on your poker skills and sooner or later you will be lucky.

The game of poker is a game of patience and of luck at the same time because you have to have more patience than luck to win

75% skill
25% luck

 

[de1mon]

I go with 69% skill 31% luck 🙂

Luck comes first, but skill is what really matters after that.

 

[rufininha14]

Without a doubt, skill. If you rely on luck and don't study, you will never have good earnings. Skill and practice in poker are everything.

 

[Ronder]

20% skill
80% luck

Poker is definitely a game of high skill and mastery. But sometimes you need luck to win.

 

[ManOfSky]

Poker is a skill game with short-term luck. Luck decides a few hands, but skill wins in the long run.

 

[fernandofcp]

In poker, anything can happen, from the smallest chance of winning a hand to the largest chance of losing the same hand. So in this sense, playing poker is a mix of skill and luck at the same time.

 

[Shooter74]

60% Skill
40% Luck...

 

[Toruk Makto]

It involves a lot of both...

 

[anasslaaleg]

Poker is both a game of luck and skill but over time, skill wins.
