Poker is a mind game. Some people may think poker is a luck based game. It's actually not true. Poker is a skill based game. What do you think ?

It's both. The luck factor is big in poker, though it has enough skill in it for you to be able to be long-term profitable if playing well.

Totally agree. Poker has a component of luck, especially in the short term (such as what cards you touch in a hand), but skill is what defines long-term success.

It's both. There's a number of things you gotta be skilled in or good at(besides poker knowledge/strategy) to be a winning player long term. And hitting a four outer or sucking out on the river is all luck. No skill involved there.

Cheers!!!

Of course it’s a game of skill and luck. If you don’t think luck is a factor then you haven’t played long enough.

Poker is a game in which knowledge, skill, intelligence, thinking are extremely important factors, and in doing so, of course, one should have luck.

I completely agree — poker is very much a mind game. While luck plays a role in the short term, in the long run, skill is what truly determines success. Understanding probabilities, reading opponents, managing emotions, and making strategic decisions under pressure are all crucial aspects of the game. A skilled player can consistently make better choices, minimize losses, and maximize winnings, regardless of the luck of a single hand.

In fact, what makes poker so fascinating is that it’s not just about the cards you’re dealt, but how you play them. Discipline, patience, adaptability, and psychological insight all come into play. Over time, a player’s experience and ability to think critically give them a clear edge. Luck might give you a temporary boost, but skill is what sustains long-term success and separates amateurs from professionals.
