I think it is luck

Yes you can have very good skills and get AA, but still there is a chance to lose and this is the luck of your opponent.

I think both, for noobs is 100% lucky, for profs is 50/50

50/50? Why? I mean psychology, maths means something...
Luck is part of the game... but there is bigger influence of skills

If you're playing 5$ Turbo SNGs at HP, then it's probably 70% luck and 30% skills
Yesterday, got [As][Qs] and raised before the flop... some dude re-raised me and I pushed him all in... he called and opended his [5h][7s] :huh:
the flop is [7h] [9c] [Jc] [2d] [2d]

If it's a normal game then I'd say 80% skills and 20% luck.

75skills, 25 luck

I think skill is all about calculating odds and to know how much to bet and when to bet, how to understand that your opponent is bluffing.

HP is all about gambling.
And don't look for smart players at $5 Turbo

I think.. 70 skills and 30 luck [bandit]

I think that there is much more luck in online games. Just when you sit on a table with a person, it makes like 80% skill and 20% luck. Every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser.

65% skill, 35% luck.

Luck becomes a very big factor these days, because everyone knows how to play decent poker after reading all of those strategies & s*it, it's really hard to find a true fish (those I've played with a few) where it would be 99% skill and 1% luck.

Try to play 1-5$ tournaments and you will find a lot of fishes.
