poker 100% luck?

[drizzel_121]

alot of ppl say that poker has alot of luck and no skill what so ever . give me your thoughts about this, 100% luck or 100% skill?

[wdson01]

whats 100% luck is if you get into that freeroll....which you wont if you keep making these damn posts

hahahaa well said mate but give the guy a break most of his posts are pretty informative, ive looked at urs and have u bin letting those kindergarten kids post for u again? jk

haha, doesnt everyone want to get into the freeroll? by the way drizzel, poker isnt 100% luck. it does take some skill to be good. think, dont you always see some familiar faces when watching poker on tv? they cant get lucky EVERY time, can they?

Poker, especially hold em is all about the bad beat. You need skill, but you have to avoid the bad beats. Tournaments where my good hands hold up are the ones I go deep in.

When you KK loses to 77 it has nothing to do with skill.

Poker is 90% luck. The other half is skill.

I think on the ring tables their are alot of jokers out there. They pretty much call anything. But when you play int he tourneys seems like alot more people are more picky and choosy.

So bottom line in thourneys its skill and in ring tables ...well GOOD LUCK

[chrisash]

skill unless your playing with idiots that call everything and anything

Chicks like guys with skills.

I believe there was actually a special on a WSOP segment or a WPT segment about this, Luck does help you a lot in HL HE tournies, BUT, if you do not have the skill to last long enoungh to get lucky you are in trouble, another quote ive seen is that poker is luck and skill luck keeps the bad players coming back and skill keeps the good players coming back, i would personally rather be skillfull than lucky any day....
