Default Re: In Your Experience, What Percentage of Poker is Skill vs. Luck?

Neither do I.


If you have enough skill to beat the game....and you play long enough...then the answer is close to 100% skill.


"So, if someone were to ask you what percentage of your poker is attributable to skill vs. luck, what would you say?"


I generally say that there is variance and fluctuation in the short-term...but it all evens out in the long-run and long-term success is not going to happen without skill.



If you were to say '90% skill and 10% luck' would that mean that 10% of players with crappy skill can still be successful in the long-term?
I'm not sure it would mean this or not. But I don't believe that 10% of crappy players can be successful in the long-term.


however...you can obviously catch a lucky big-score in the short-term and then just hang onto your money (like a Varkoni or Moneymaker for example).
