Message: [QUOTE="La reytor, post: 7042236, member: 262753"] Experts generally agree that poker is primarily a skill-based game, but luck plays a big role, especially in the short term. While some experts maintain that poker is 100% dependent on long-term skill, others suggest that luck can influence between 5 and 10% of a skilled player's success. For new players, luck plays a much bigger role as they are still learning the fundamentals of the game. However, as players gain experience and develop their skills, the influence of luck decreases. The percentage of skill versus luck can vary depending on the specific game format, what is at stake, and the players involved. However, it is generally accepted that skill is the most important factor in determining long-term success in poker. [/QUOTE]
