There are many percentages bandied about Luck v Skill, but my answer is "How long is a Piece of string?" 
Firstly it is impossible to measure without a rule, and secondly how can you measure something that is only in your own mind? Luck is something you feel hence the phrase " I feel Lucky" or "I have a gut feeling"
Skill comes from years of practice! but you cannot see it, taste it, or smell it. So again it is unmeasurable! Some people ask who is the best Poker player in the World? My answer is the last person sat at the table. I admire lots of Professional Players for their game play and Skill, but to name one player that is better than all the rest is just an opinion, not a fact!
Likewise all players get lucky some times, Just not there when you need it most, I have come up against some players who believe they have been dealt their "Lucky Hand" at some point in a game. and go all-in with it, because they believe it to be lucky for them, They remember the number of times it hits the magic flop for them, but forget the number of times it misses completely.
Luck comes and goes as it want's to, It's something you should never count on, because it will abandon you when you need it most, Skill however is something you can carry with you from game to game, It is always with you and no one can take it away from you, I would much rather believe in my own Skill as a Poker player, than being a Lucky Player, otherwise I would give up on the Game.
