if you play strictly according to the rules, this does not guarantee you one hundred percent success, because one bad beat can knock you out of the game or reduce the stack to the push fold stage, where everything will depend on the cards that will come out on the board. Therefore, it is sometimes necessary to apply actions against logic and deviate. The more you play only with strong hands, the less likely it is to win the luck score.

Hello.
In my opinion, the most important are the skill and experience of the player. Luck is also important, but players who rely only on luck will not be able to succeed in the long run.

In my opinion.. Luck does play a factor when your chasing hands, however positioning and having a good feel for the table will give any player a massive advantage.

More good choices than luck

Experience has a lot to do with it as well. although making good choices in the game sometimes seem to be as good as luck.

I think Seneca and MJ had it right... “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.”

Just luck. But the bigger the money, the less these lucky ones show up.

First it's always decision, if you don't call the luck will never found the way to you and those guys which goes
nearly everytime All-In are only being for a short time, someone will call them with AA or KK and then it's over.

How many times have you sat at a table and seen some clown with an outrageous hand that never should have been bet on, win the hand

Not at my microstakes, I better play brutally honest solid poker. Try to play fancy poker and run big bluffs... calling stations will put you in place :D you know what they say "TIGHT IS RIGHT"

I personally believe it is 50/50. Both are balanced.
But good decision could really help you in the long run.

There are opportunities at a gaming table that by a good decision the chips can be increased quickly, however there are players who risk with any card and win.
So is it all about good decisions or just luck? :rolleyes:
If you risk any card and win, it's luck for sure.
Mathematics is incorruptible.

Definitely both, but with online you don't have to have nearly as much skill or table presence.

None of them. With good decisions, sometimes a little luck can't hurt! But you should not rely on luck alone.

Skill must overcome luck. Everyone says so. But I believe less and less in it.

This is a bad decision. I don't recommend playing like that. You will always be the last to fall in the game.

I believe it is luck combined with good decisions. Only one characteristic is very difficult to win a tournament, there has to be a combination of luck and good decisions.

It is skill when I win and bad luck when I lose ;)

Okay, that is a funny joke, but some people actually interpret poker this way (often times without consciously realizing it). Long-term success in poker, no doubt, must be in part about realizing what were good decisions and what were not. Sometimes we do get lucky or unlucky, but we want to make sure that it is more often up to something we can control such as skill.

If its poker, better rely on good decisions because your opponents try to make the best possible decisions to win money.

If you want to rely on luck, then we have lotteries, slot machines and other games where its all about luck.

This is 99 percent luck because you can consistently lose from position and with the best cards.

When you go a risk with any card, this can not be a good decision :) It is impossible to win any long poker tournament without luck, when you win crazy hands or get a lot of good cards to play. But, even if you caught your luck, but make stupid decisions, you will lose everything.. Therefore, it is correct to think, that the player has experience of the game, good skills, abilities and luck accompanies him! :) You can also supplement this with convenient rivals, which can be attributed to luck :)
