For me, there are different types of luck and skill in the game, in a cash game there are more skills, players shove less in the all-in AK AD play more in collecting combinations, and for me in the cash game somewhere 80% of the skills and the rest for luck, and in tournaments I noticed many times that many players often play all-in on AQ AJ AK and many players are helped not by skills but just luck and in the tournament for me 60-70% of skills and the rest is played by luck!

It's better to have both, obviously.
Even most skillful players have their lucky streaks sometimes, but there is nobody, who stood lucky on a long run...

you need luck
you need luck. you need to be able to ger the cards. hope that your pocket aces hold up. hope you ger ypur flush or straight draws. hope you flop a high hand when they have a high hand promo. and hope you can ger the bad end of the bad beat jack pot. so luck is always better than skill. cause if it was just skill . same people would always win the big event in wsop. and the reason you do see the same people like phil helmuth is cause hes sponsered in eevey big tourny n onlu wons few just imagine how you would do if you were sponsered in every tourny and disnt have to worry about the money.

the skill will always be the main factor, a good strategy, a good mechanism, and of course sometimes having the good luck to beat that runner runner !!!!! , but always most of the time it will be your skill that will lead you to success! and bring good luck!

In any given poker hand luck is King, and beats skill by a landslide. The problem is that you can't do anything to improve or control your luck, but you can constantly improve your skill.
The wheel of luck keeps turning while skill, on the other hand, does not fluctuate randomly.
So over the long term, skill is King.

The skill affects closed cards. Reading opponents. Stealing the blinds. The calculation of chances. Pressure by raises and re-raises. bluff. In a word the skills work until you open the cards. Then it all depends on luck. Luck decides a lot. Moreover, even pocket pairs depend on luck. But how you play them depends on the skill.

Luck in streaks
There is no doubt that skill and luck both play a place in poker, however I am rapidly learning that good luck and bad luck seem to run in streaks. Today I was in the 888 $500 freeroll early in the tourney, I had amassed about three times the chips of all at my table, I get 10 10 end up all in against 63suited, yep he flushes, a few hands later I get AKsuited end up all in again and lose to 55, and three times is unlucky, I have KK all in and am covered by AJ he flops AJ and I am done, so the bad luck just like the good luck runs in streaks, now if only we could tell in advance which cycle (good or bad ) are we in...lol

In my opinion the skill and most importantly,
not everything in life is achieved only with luck, you need to sweat your shirt, work hard, aim for a goal there when least expect to reach your goal with the help of luck!
