poker skill or luck

[supernuts]

well lately ive been playing a way solid game maybe my best yet get deep into several tourneys to just get unlucky im mean a lot do u think this game is skill or luck im confused

[Swittie]

if u try to win it on skill some lucker comes and screws u, if u try to win it on luck some clever boy throws his skills on ur face....wellll ......

I think it requires both, but more skill than luck. Sometimes you do get lucky and win flips or hit a 2 or 3 outer depending on the situation.

The way I answer if poker is skill or luck is by saying that luck is more important on the short run and skill plays in the long run.

I think it was kind of skillful how you managed to get 15 points (3 posts) out of the exact same topic by just changing the words

It looks like 2 of em were deleted LMFAO Luck is playing for the suckout and skill is knowing when ur beat and fold but you need both online

This is one of those topics that won't go away. There is a lot of luck in any individual game/tournament. But skill wins out over the long run.

A quote from Phil Hellmuth. If poker was all skill I would never lose. LMAO. So I have to say it is probaly 50/50.
