Not sure what you are asking
In an individual tournament, luck is probably greater than 50% in determining the winner. But it is not a coincidence that the best players win the most tournamnents, because skill should outweigh luck in the long run
Daniel Negreanue is my favorite poker player. He says he is happy if he makes the money 30% of the time. That means he does not make the money 70% of the time -- cause he was unlucky those days.
So Skill is more important in the long run, but with luck anyone can win in the short term

Poker is not 100% luck or 100% skill, it's more like 80% skill and 20% luck. You have to get lucky and suck out on a few hands and you have to have the best hand hold up to win a tournament. But on any given day it could be 100% luck, but over the long run it evens out to 80-20.

I would say about 65% skill and 35% luck, and I also play a lot. The thing is, the less one knows about poker, the more it seems that luck prevails, but as one learns more and sees the big picture, skill prevails in the longrun.

well instead of it being a percent greater then 100 (which doesnt make sense on a problem like this), how bout 85% skill and 15% luck because its like that old song you got to know when to hold them, when to fold them, also, removing all tell signs and keeping a good poker face is hard. but what is this question? its 2 sentances and then it just stops

Somebody said "Poker is 100% skill and 50% luck." ;)
