Yes and no, it takes a lot of skill to play poker. But let me give you an example, those same guys you see at the world series of poker every year get there because they are very skillful players, but to win the tourny you have to get lucky.

Poker is probably 60% luck, 20% skill and 20% is down to having the nuts to bluff when your sat on nothing much hand wise. Takes a lot of time (and money if you're not carefull) to learn properly.

It is a game that combines luck with skill and a good bluff technique. The skill is in seeing which cards are dealt and working out the probabilities or odds of getting the cards you want or someone else have them

No. Luck plays a factor in the game sure. Luck plays a factor in all things in life. And it is not a game of bluff, I would like to play against someone who thinks that.

It's a combination of luck and skill, getting the right
cards at the right time, and knowing how to play the
hands you're dealt.

It can be, but it's all about how you pay the game... It's all about reading people too... You could have a good hand, but someone could try to bluff you, make you get out of the game and actually win w/ a bad hand... It's knowing what you have to do at the right time...

There is nothing like catching cards, that's when your "on a heater" or lucky.. Poker is reading other people. and Kenny Rogers sang it the best.
