In many ways, it all depends on the ability to play poker. And only 30-25% of luck, unless of course you abuse your luck. Otherwise, luck will generally take most of the skill and, therefore, there will be less to win.

We always tend to depend on our skills if we run good and win the game. For me it's mostly luck however skills will help us to extract more value from hands and make best choices in cruicial spots. Certainly we need both although a bit more luck than anyhing in my opinion. Yesterday I got knocked out of tourney after shoving 77 against guy called with J10. Jack came on riverr and I lost, he went to be won the game. <Luck

Good Question. There's a phrase that I recall that goes something like this; "odds are and if you are lucky...". That kind of rounds it all up. It takes skill to know your odds and if you are lucky the odds play in your favor.

it depends on both, you need skill to read hands and get out of a hand even if you have a strong hand, and read people who are stronger than you in that hand,

But also it takes some luck hitting your cards and being dealt good hards..
without luck nobody will ever win anything, there is also some luck involved

I believe that the results depend on luck added to your skill because it's no use taking AA three times in a row and going all in preflop in UTG 3, that is, we have to work better with hand strengths to be able to collect the maximum amount of chips without being overly daring , calm is everything in poker.:eek:

luck for the first part at the very least, hyper/turbo
after that if i can make it far enough a mix of some luck, and skill
in person, more skill than luck usually but i get my bad beats, but also my lucky rivers at times

My long-term results depend on my skills. But without luck, it would be more difficult to take the first places. In my case, 20% luck and 80% skill.

hello

It depends on the two factors, if one of them does not accompany you, it is difficult to win!

In poker, a lot depends on luck, if the hole cards do not match the table, in this case no skills will help you !!!

Skill puts you in a position to receive the luck.

My results are results of my skills, of course with the help of luck! The most important of the two are the skills.

Hard to win without some luck. Need to get good cards and need to have them hold up. Skill is involved in recognizing when you have an advantage.

In the long term your results should be determined by your skill. In the short term it may be depended upon in your luck.

To be a consistent player I really believe in skill, having luck along the way, better.

They say that luck plays a fundamental role in poker, I think that you make your luck by having good skills for the game. Although I have no doubt that there are games that depend much more on luck than skill, have you been in these Hyper games? There it is shown that skill hardly plays a roll as important as luck. Regards.

If someone plays a tournament and wins it, it is more by luck, but in the long run the best players will win money, those who study, those who have good bank management, etc.
