Do you think poker is more about skills, luck, or intelligence?

[Comboss599]

Everything is needed to win a tournament. If you don't have one of these you can't win.

 

[Pulse_69]

I think that everything should be here, because one does not always work without the other.

 

[Dailon Arroyo Blandon]

well... I try not to see poker as a game of luck... I study it a lot and it's a game of probabilities... so the correct use of mathematics combined with intelligence to have a good reading of my opponents will allow me to have the best chances of winning most of the time... understanding that there will be times that I will lose but as long as they are the least... I will end up being successful

Hello, all three are important, but I would put them in this order: intelligence, skill and luck.

 

[valeski 28]

Good morning.Skills,a lot of patience are some luck are required.

 

[Recreationalplayer]

It's a game of skill, but patience is equally important to withstand bad luck/downswing.

 

[Eduard0Felipe]

Skill can be overcome by training, most of the time, luck is luck, what to say, I recommend not counting on it, although sometimes it will save you. Intelligence can be a differential, but I faithfully believe in training, training and hard studies are the best way to succeed. Besides patience, of course, I could say that it is one of the main points for a good poker player.

 

[Gallarado777]

skill needs experience intelligence and luck all this data is needed in poker if you don't have this data, you won't see a win in poker in the same quality you won't go far in poker

Poker is a game mainly of patience, intelligence and ability, this set is what makes the difference between one player and another, luck is also part of the game but it does not define you as a good player. You can win a hand or a tournament by luck, but to be a real winner you must have intelligence, research, study, update yourself, put what you have learned into practice, have patience and skill. If you don't think so then why do you think the top players exist? To be among the best players you must be good and to be good you cannot depend on luck, because instead of playing poker you would be playing bingo.

Poker is gambling. Luck is very important in gambling games.

 

[Rmi]

I believe that variance has its odds in poker, but the reality and those who know is that strategy is the most important thing in this game.

 

[crazycitizen]

Intelligence imo.
Naturally skilful players can fall apart with poor BRM and general life balance (amongst other things).
And luck-based players well...don't get me started

 

[AndyB_10]

I think making smart decisions is the key. Probablility wins in the long run. It cant be coincidence people get better by practice and study. It is a lot more complex than the flip of a coin. In person vs online also adds a huge dynamic.

 

[Kinalha]

So, what’s your opinion?

Obviously it takes a little bit of all, but what one do you think its the most important?

skill is the most important, the rest is part of the game

 

[GeckoAA]

I would say when your new to poker you rely more on luck but as you become a more seasoned player - skills, intelligence and experience are going to get you farther more often especially with a bit of added Luck.

 

[bowserdon]

All 3, Patience ,knowledge of odds and of course Luck trumps all

 

[eddusvha]

Good afternoon,

I believe that knowledge and experience are the most important skills.

What they call luck, I believe is the application of probability.

Working on these points in the long term is more successful than the “lucky” ones.

 

[zipocool]

everything in aggregate, skill is of course in the first place, since this is the main factor in poker

 

[MrPokerVerse]

I'm wondering the difference between skill and intelligence?

 

[DAVID KEHRER]

SKILL and knowing the game are most important but everyone needs some luck to win a tourney.

 

[vnnby]

In my understanding poker is a process of choosing the right decision, which includes many different factors, so you need to have everything in order to be in the right place at the right time.

 

[COMIRRR]

love, debauchery and ecstasy )

 

[johnsonmad]

A mixture of all 3 for sure.

 

[19aleks57]

I think luck plays a major role in online poker, although skill and patience are also important.

 

[YLAN]

For me, luck online and skill for live.
