IS POKER MORE A GAME OF LUCK OR A GAME OF SKILL?


[+] ballot by Colin_B
ACTIVE Jul 09,2007 - Thu Nov 20, 08
Yes I know, both luck and skill are important in a game of poker.

You need luck to get strong hands of cards and/or luck to have weaker hands dealt for other players. You also need skill to know when to bluff, fold, raise along with being able to read other players.

But which (luck or skill) is MORE important in a poker game?

Poker is mainly a game of skill. 13
Poker is mainly a game of luck. 5

Voted : Poker is mainly a game of skill.
Knowing what to do or not to do with bad hands as well as good hands will keep you at the top of your game.

It's a game of luck, but you need skill to mamage the game to your advantage.

^ What forgetmenot said.

I've seen many a pot taken by great players with bad hands. And many a dollar lost by lucky people who thought that's all that it took.

You've got to be able to bluff. It's how I've managed to succeed in the game. And there's no luck in bluffing.
