Game of skill or game of luck?

[TimmysTrappoker]

poker is definetley both skill and luck

[TimmysTrappoker]

also requires a lot of patience during those big freerolls

[vvmcnamara]

Its a combination, and whether it is more of one or the other is dependent upon the player. I have always said though that tournament poker is "surviving the bullsh#t".

[TreeGod64]

it is a combination of both and a little of the other players ar fucking up

Good luck in poker rely only morons.

i think poker is mostly a luck game, and like 5% skill. Because you need to know the time and right time to bluff and bet

[PokeYourFace]

poker is a game of skill. this is why the same ppl... "skilled" ppl are profitable consistantly. it would be impossible to make a living off of a game of luck.

NLHE poker imo is 30% luck. most all in hands are 63/37 some are 70/30, pp over pp is 80/20, drawing to two pair, behind post flop is usually 75/25 ish, str8 and flush draw is rougly 65/35 post flop.

In general, i LOVE ppl that think poker is luck, I eat these fishies 80% of the time. I do also hate when these ppl get lucky. i wonder if ppl knew their odds, would they make some of the same fish calls.

no limit poker is a skill while limit poker is a science, but both only consist of about 30% luck....

I would say luck plays a larger factor in online play compared to live play. Clearly you must possess skill in both genres!

[Kushmoon]

its a game of skill, those who say luck are just terrible at this game and have no chance ever so just stop playing now
