in your opinion, how much of poker is skill

[Toddy]

THe more and more i play i think its about 3% skill. How many times can i play a hand perfectly and take a bad beat?

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

This sounds like the kind of question someone who learned poker from TV would ask. It changes over time so there is no way to answer this question because the timeframe (or the particular game, for that matter) haven't been specified. Anyone who voted should be kicked off the forum.

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...
