Poker% Luck

[rastapapolos]

Luck is more present in poker for the small numbers (less than 3k mtt, less than 50k hands for cash games), but in big numbers (more than 1M hands played for cash games, or more than 10k mtt) skill will prevail. Libratus a poker AI has beat the best poker HU players for about 15bb/100 in a 200k hand sample. I don't see any luck here, only skill for the AI.

80% skill and 20% luck is what I think, the time depends on how much you can allocate.

See the comments and I come to the conclusion that many around here believe that poker is luck, what do you think?

 

[INISHTE]

I think it's 50% skill and 50% luck.

 

[cris1768]

it will never be lucky in my opinion, there are so many courses and this would not be in vain. Always the same ones that win big tournaments

 

[cris1768]

I think it's 50% skill and 50% lucky.

have you ever played tournaments with professionals? that would change your concepts for sure

 

[Foxie12340]

my best guess 70% luck 20% skill & 10% timing

I think that is probably a little off but I don’t really know enough about it. I think there is less luck and more skill than that

I think poker is lucky, even if some people say you have to study to win I don't think so, I've seen bad players who win tournaments.

Good luck and poker... give him minimal chances at the table

Poker is 50% study and the rest is pure luck, there are no doubts, it is like that, I can add skill but it does not give me the percentage

 

[Mauricio Perrotta]

I would divide it like this
Patience 60%
Skill 30%
Lucky 10%
