I prefer both since you can be the most professional but if you lack that point of luck you will not reach the end ...

It is obvious that you will always prefer to have both points equally in professional tournaments. The most important point is always the strategy, obviously sometimes luck helps but in itself it is not the most important point.

I prefer luck, because you can have the best knowledge and strategy but with bad luck you will not get far, assuming that you can only choose one and you would have it 100%, in real life luck is very important but it passes to second term since knowledge is the main thing to be a winner in poker

I think the luck is more important especially when you play online, because nobody can see your strategy . It is all about luck . For example - I had 66 and was all in , the gay who paid was with 1010. Flop - 6KA, turn 2 and river 10 - he had 0.01 chance to win and won.

I think the main skill! because with luck it's not so interesting to win constantly))

Both are important in poker, of course knowledge is what will really pay off in the long run.

poker is just that junction !! However, knowledge is always superior.

I think it takes a good dose of both. Both luck and knowledge. Later, fate will say ...

Luck is ephemeral, knowledge prevails. In the long term always knowledge and a little luck always every day of my life

I prefer knowledge but luck for me is 40% of this wonderful game.

You can't be a consistent winner without both. Especially in a MTT. everyone that makes it deep in these tournaments suck out at least a couple of times. That's poker

I prefer more in game luck

I agree with you. Both of these factors are necessary for each player. But still, I believe that in the long run the skill of the player is more important.

You need both or else even your AA will be cracked

I prefer to play badly and be lucky because when the variance is on your side. you are invincible even when playing against max hands.

In poker, I prefer cocktail, luck plus knowledge.

Without a doubt, I will prefer skill. I believe that a player's skill will always be crucial. Luck is also important, but at least your skill will always be with you.

Correct solution! There is nothing to do in poker without luck, the same goes for skill.

Over the long term, you have to have skill to put you in a position where luck will assist you.

I am on the same board. If you play 10+ million right hands in the right way you win. Moreover, you can expand knowledge, but you can not influence the luck in any way.
Sorry for my English, if something.

Good Knowledges to all.

When you play 66 preflop, you only hope for luck. If you want to win, you need skill and a little luck.

i prefer to spend my share of the luck on other aspects of my life and try to play my best game and go as far as i can.

when knowledge is at a high level and mistakes are minimized luck does not matter but it unlucky that matters i think

Of course, mathematics in the first place , as well as observation

Hello.
Both factors are important, but still, for me, skills will always come first.

I agree with you. Skills are a higher priority.

Luck is a relative concept.Today there is luck-tomorrow it may not be.But the knowledge and experience to bring results!Go ahead for the next batch of knowledge in the game and more experience for you!

I prefer luck, but depends off The days to had luck ��

Knowledge of the game is essential when you become an advit poker player and is needed to better your game. However, luck can always beat knowledge at any given time.

Knowledge is not enough to win poker and you need luck. I don't know how much luck and how much knowledge, but the two together can make you a great poker player.

I prefer to balance the scale, 70% skill and 30% luck, as long as the river accompanies we are fine

Luck cannot be increased, so the choice is obvious knowledge)))

I agree in poker you need knowledge and luck, if you are not lucky you will not win a single tournament.

you need both happiness and knowledge

I think that a combination of knowledge and luck will give the best result.

a professional player once said if there was no luck i would be the best poker player

Luck and skill working only together, but skill is more important. Without luck you can still build your stack, but probably selecting less cards to play with, and admire positions and other's stacks more.
Without skill, your moves are predictable, and your control in the game are taken over by better players. Skilled players also can assimilate to the new situations easier - I believe these two factors can make them more effective in long term.

I believe that a little bit of each, you can be good technically, but if you don't win flip you won't get anywhere.

Skill an knowledge.
Luck in poker is nothing but variance that you can minimize by having right knowledge.

Sometimes i will prefer Luck.

Certainly knowledge. Luck in poker will be few and far between, since knowledge has enabled you to make a profit in the long run.

I prefer both, because no matter how much knowledge you have without a little bit of luck, you could loose, because the villain got lucky.

I prefer luck. Lots of luck....

Win a tourney, you need both, there are phases, where you can separate them, but in the end you need both. So I prefer luck&knowledge.

Definitely knowledge because luck can turn into bad luck rather quickly... and it would make wonderful forums like this, for naught, if poker were just about blind luck.... There are deep calculations about expected value%, pot odds, etc. that need to be made BEFORE becoming a profitable winning player in the long term..

I think that both are VERY important.

If you look at the top pros, they are all very lucky. Why? Because they know how to use the luck, and they know how to get lucky.

How many times do you see them stay in a hand with two rotten cards? Often. They can size up, instantly, what their odds are, based on how many are left in the hand, their position at the table, the playing style of those left in the hand, and very importantly, pot odds.

Daniel Negreanu, and Doyle Brunson are the best I've ever seen, at this. They can turn a rotten hand into a good hand, because they recognise a possible lucky situation, and have had it happen to them before.

Professional skills are the basis of good luck.

I consider both knowledge and luck important.
You can be any good player, if you are unlucky in poker, you cannot win.
In vain is the best strategy if your ace pair is taken away by a lucky 2 7.

Certainly knowledge, luck helps those who have the right knowledge in the right decision.

I think both are really indispensable
