in your opinion, how much of poker is skill

[jfresh]

as opposed to luck

i'd say skill includes everything from reading your opponents to controlling your tilt/emotions.

Any answer other than 100% skill is wrong.

Very dependant on the time span we're talking here.

Unless you expect to play an infinite number of hands in your lifetime, your answer is wrong.

Since Im pretty sure you arent going to play an infinite number of hands, you answer is wrong.

I think that poker is a lot more skill than luck but it's not 100% skill. That is completely wrong and I can't believe you would say that. I know it is very skillfull but you can't tell me that there is no luck involved what so ever.

Actually, your answer is wrong (unless you mean an infinite number of hands)

Why? So you think the most skillful player always will win 100% of the money at the table.

I say that even if you are skilled then your edge is still not very big over a player that do not have any skill. But you do not need a big edge if you play many hands.. A casinos edge in mnay game is often not more than 5%. Still they win alot...

the more short term you get, the more and more luck has a role. the more long term you get, the lesser and lesser luck has a role.
