How much does luck matter in poker?

[Zaner]

How much do you think luck matters in poker? For me i seem to be pretty unlucky. I had a pretty good run for a little while in cash games but lately it doesn't matter howw well i play, i seem to have the worst luck. I believe if you are very unlucky you have much less of a chance to be a winning poker player.

only in short time in long time it's always be skill,if you call all in with 60% + you'll won in long time,you can lose 1 or 10 times but keep focus in long time,make the best decision and you'll win

It seems to me that luck in poker matters much more than we would like. But without this, poker wouldn't be poker. As they say, if you don’t want to rely on luck, play chess, the most “fair and equal” game

There is also a good saying - “The strongest get lucky” and, it seems to me, there is a lot of truth in this.

50% to have luck, 50% to unluck

80% skill 20% luck

Skill and mental preparation are more important than luck in poker.
You can't control luck, so you don't have to deal with it, just like if you run badly, just play your A game and you'll be profitable in the long run.

luck can help on some occasions but not for long

Luck is important in a certain hand and even with premium hands, and on a strategic scale, luck depends on the player's ability to use the situation on the poker board. The ability and readability of the board is a lot and is implied by luck, that is, mathematical expectation.

Luck is about 50%. Other 50% is the set of abilities aimed to perform quality play.

Well, my opinion is that poker is based more on luck than playing well
because no matter how well you play and choose the best hands and position to play, you have to be lucky enough to have good cards and that they line up with the board, otherwise what's the point of an AA, or KK or a strong hand if the table doesn't match then you lose all your chips or a good portion of your chips and getting back into the game becomes difficult

It matters a lot, especially in the latter stages of a tournament, I just lost with AA versus KQ offsuit preflop all in, and there were 4 of us left
