Skilled players will win in the end after the dust settles! The lucky will win some battles but lose the war!

Always feel luck will run both ways. In that, it comes down to skill.

In my opinion, my results depend 70% on my skills and 30% on luck. But certainly both of these factors are important and crucial.

Poker is skill + luck.
It is not an either/or kind of thing.

In my opinion, skills are more important. My skills decide my outcome. And luck is either there or not. At least my skills are always with me.

A bit of lucky, 'cause a play a lot of turbo/hypers... and sometimes, I play well, get the reads right but lost the all-ins.

I think my results depend on a combination of these two factors. Success in poker requires both skill and luck. But still, I also think that skill is more important.

I understand that in all tournaments, no matter which one, we have to be that lucky to hit our cards or hold our pairs.
But skill is the key to the game.
I say the game is 75% skill and 25% luck.

Need both to have success
You can have all the skills in the world it would be of no use if you keep getting unlucky {See bad beat section for examples}.
You need skill to take full advantage of the times the luck goes your way at the table

In the very long term, skill is more needed. Luck can carry you just so far. But both are needed essentially.

Poker is only about skill, luck can only be about which cards you will come across. But those who know the rules of poker know that you can win back in any scenario. Poker is a game that is not profitable for more than one casino, because everything depends on the skill, unlike other games, slot machines.

I am convinced that my results depend on my skills. Luck is also important, but my luck, unlike my skills, does not always depend only on me.

Luck is the only thing that keeps the game interesting. If it was all skill, no one would play

In Poker you must have luck and skill, both are essential to be successful. You don't win a tournament without one of them.

Hello everybody! Personally, I believe that good success cannot be achieved without luck, I am not saying that skill is excluded, skill, games should be, I have one more criteria for the game, this is a good mood, without a good mood I cannot play well.
