most people will come to this thread saying "i think its 60% math, 40% luck", "i think its 30% luck, 70% math" or "i think its 80% skill, 20% luck" or "for me it looks more like 50% luck, 50% skill"...well........whatever.........i use to think this way: once you TOTALLY depend on cards you get and also you CANT control the cards you will be dealt..for me it looks more like 100% luck......

Lmao, I agree a lot of the time it is luck, especially when your a donk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have always heard optimum is .75 skill and .25 luck

luck is always a factor in games of chance. what makes someone better though is having the knowledge (math/psychology/strategy) needed to constantly make better decisions than their opponents.

Skill, Math and a lot of luck sounds about right to me!! Lol

[coolpokername]

it is the luck of the cards you get with the skill/math of knowing when and how much to bet. How much to bet is the math part, when is the skill part

Knowing the potential outs and win odds that you have is crucial towards playing

[mathkid]

I could not agree more. Post flop play especially can take a lifetime to master

MATH is king. It builds roads,and most everything else. Poker is an exception in SOME cases. there is no BLUFF in mathematics.. HIGH stakes , math is good.
