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

I can't remember where I ran into this or I'd link it. A guy took a poker simulator, ran it eight times with the identical profile player over the number of hands that simulated a life time of play. The results among the eight players varied by 2% over the course of a lifetime of full time play.

So, 98 percent skill, 2 percent luck. If we could live longer, I presume those percentages might change.

So that's a 2% edge. Greenstein claims if your lifetime winrate is 1 BB hour than your edge has been 3%. Of course, if you're really good it can be higher. Or if you're a hack it could be as little as 1% or if you're good, but playing in tough games for some reason or lack of availabilty.
