As the time played converges towards infinity, the skill % converges to 100%.

Are you saying the older you get the better your skills?

If yes, then if I live long enough I'll be a skilled player!!! Sweet!

Any answer other than 100% skill is wrong.

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.

props on your assessment.

Maybe my logic is flawed this morning, but I voted 40-60/40-60 and would put is around 51% skill - 49% luck even over the long term.

If the very best players in the world can grind out only 2-3 BB/100 or 2-3 BB/HR at the higher limit games, over a few hundred thousand hands, then that tells me that very skilled players have a realtively small edge against other skilled or not-so-skilled players. How many BB's are wagered every 100 hands or ever hour? Yet, the very skilled player still only manages to profit only 2-3 of the BB's wagered? Even if the very skilled player is making the best decision humanly possible every time, his edge is still quite small.

Your defeating your own arguement there. If you accept that the very good players beat the good players by a few bets an hour then you accept that as the lenght of time increases the percentage effect of skill increases.
