Re: How much of poker is luck?
some of my none-gambling friends always try to tell me poker is all luck because whoever gets the best cards wins. My reply is "good poker is winning the most when you have the best hand and losing the least when you don't." They usually concede after that.
As your number of hands increases, the accuracy of your win or lose rate calculations becomes more accurate. Theoretically "luck," aka variance becomes minimal once you have a very large sample size.
