well yes and no. you need to know when someone is bluffing you. you got to have skill to know when to call it. but the cards you get is the luck part.

^....I've heard this before....^

The only way to consistenly win is to play against an entire table of people who don't understand the advantage points. When more people at the table know the advantage points the odds for winning become less and less.

In the casino it is all luck and the odds are against you, and just about everyone playing understands the advantage points. Reason being that; the pot can never be worth the risk due to the rake and other sorts of bonus takes. It doesn't matter if you can read the other person or not cause you can't control the next card which changes the entire universe of the hands in play.(thus making your read usless)

In a house game (with everyone knowing the advantage points), it is all luck with even odds.

Another way to consistanly win is to get good at cheating.

Answer:

All depend on the player. For professional players it's the game of luck, but how about new player :)...hard to say...

It is both because you must have the skill to draw players in so you can get a lot of money in the pot and luck to get the good cards

Skill and experience can get you far, but luck is essential to win a tournament. Seasoned poker players claim that you need 30% luck and 70% game-knowledge in poker to do great in a game. Opinions are divided however. It is however proven that players who have got more experience win more often then amateurs with less knowledge and experience. This proves that you need more than luck alone to win at poker.
