Ooh; interesting question. I'd choose 1% better though. Luck is cool, but long-term skill wins in poker. I'd want to be 1% better and get long-term results because I'm in it for the long-term! 
p.s. I'm already lucky too, so I'm not really missing out on a ton by choosing the other option here

1% Better. In reality there is no luck in poker its all probabilities. If you were truly lucky then over the long run you would deify the odds and consistently come from behind. If you beat my pocket aces it is probably because I either played them poorly or it is the 15% times that AA loses. I love playing a player that thinks its luck, they often will call when the know they are way behind hoping that they "get lucky", SHIP IT.
And I know I will get hundreds that disagree and say there is luck in the cards. But I would like to see 1 professional that disagrees with me.

Hi.
I would make myself a cup of coffee and choose our free course.

After some consideration, I think the luck potion is the best play. Here's why:
1) There are proven methods that already exist for increasing skill. So I could use those to improve my strategy and execution. And if I were to do so, I would likely quickly pass the 1% skill edge I gained from the potion. As there is no proven means to work on my luck and run 1% better than expectation, it will have a more permanent impact on my results.
2) There are spots in which I already know the correct play, and a skill edge increase does not make one any better in such spots. A luck edge has impact in every spot where cards need to run out, and at a broader level the type of spots that emerge could be 1% more favorable as well. So in this sense the luck edge will have broader reach, and therefore more impact.

Lucky.
Consider playing a game of flipping coin for $1 each flip.
You would have 50% chances of win, but with a boost
after 100 games you are richer of $1.
This may not sound like much money but you just need to find a better game.
