What do you guys think: is poker a game of skill or a game of luck? I mean online poker, and i want some arguements!
in my opinion you need skill to have a 5% edge over another player, but that still means the game is 55 to 45 game of luck?!

i think skill is involved more than that.. there are circumstances,situations, online set up hands, etc, that equal to i dont know what percentage but i think more than 5%.. how did you come up with that percentage anyway lol?

Skill wins out in the long run, just not always in the short run. I don't think it's 95/5 though, more like 85/15.
