Mostly based on skill of bluffing. Just make sure that you have confident to take over the game and enough bankroll to all in.

I'd say poker is a game that involves 70% skill and 30% chance. The ability of you sensing that the other person holds a good card, ability to think of potential combinations, and knowing if you have to fold or raise or just check; all of them are skills and all of them are essentials to winning in poker.

In poker, you usually wait for a specific card/set of cards in order to win, no skill can make you draw a good card; only luck.

It is a combination of skills and luck, skills on how to read the chance to win with the cards on your hands and the luck to make the chance to win bigger.  I would say 70% skills 30% luck.

95% skills ...5% luck Smiley)
mmmm...I think it's way more luck than most people here think.  Then again, I don't see anyone trying to quantify it real well.  When I play I suck, so I know skill plays a big part.  But I think it's a lot of randomness.

In my opinion, it is 50-50, you need both skill and luck to play, you can lose if you do not have skills, and if you do not have luck. Both are as important and there can't be pure skill playing, because gambling is based on luck, and you have to have luck to get good cards.

to me as luck is important for every game and without luck one cannot even win a simple game. but in most of the games you need some skill also which increase your winning chance therefore to me it is a game of luck as well as skill is also important for it.

you are right, poker requires a lot of experience if you want to win some money though you need to be really lucky too in order to be dealt good cards

There is skill and luck in poker. You have to know the chances of hands which requires some skill. If you count the cards, to remember what has been played, it requires some skill also. If you are playing with live people, you can gain an advantage if you can read the other players. However, you are also at the mercy of the cards dealt, which is luck.

Poker is game of skills, and these 2 players obviously don't know nothing about poker, either they were playing freeroll or micro tournament. You just don't raise on 2-4, only if it's blind steal, and you don't steal it with low raise, and you don't call small raise with nothing(6-7). If you do that, its called bingo, not poker, and if you continue to play like that, you will lose your bankroll very fast  Wink

I think its always depends in your chance but you still need skills poker games it needs also lucky you are not relaying in your skills just you need a partial of your skills and lucky to make a good game and profit in your plays in poker..

In this case, chance won over skill.  Tongue  (still, going all-in for that chance on a straight. balls or skill?)

And, chance/luck is not a constant so, winning would depend more on skills, especially in poker.

Poker is a game of skill because it is widely played and professional gamblers do it. I think when you have skills you need just tiny support from chances but I have met some good players they say they don't need chances. They make their bets winning by themselves by relaying on their skills most.

i thnk poker plays with both. that's what makes poker more fun for me than other gambling games as with poker you just don't depend on blind luck to win. of course luck is a factor but it's pretty much how you play your cards. experienced poker players know how to play with good and bad cards so i think it;s still a game of chance, but the more experienced you become, the more you'll understand how to read and play cards and you'll depend less on luck.

Definitely chances also have some role in every game like poker. It is more a game of skills plus tricks where sometimes factor of bluff works by making others realize that you have good card. It is a combination of skills and tricks more. If you have good card that is a big plus point to go with more flexibility.

In theory its a game of chance because you don't pick what cards you will get. However its skilled based because with experience if you are good at reading your opponents you can give yourself an edge when to hold or when to fold.

poker is a game based on science because in most cases you have nothing lucky if you could play your opponent as he wants

what branch of science is poker related to?

I am curious to know Smiley
It is different if you are playing online or live poker. With online poker there is only part skills involved: mathematic is the key here. Ability to count cards, what cards are in your hand, probability of income and knowing what cards are left in the deck. Logical thinking is another skill involved. But with live poker there are more - you need to be good at reading your opponents - so psychology is important.
I agree, playing poker related to knowledge about mathematics and psychology to know your opponents. This card game depends on 85% skills and 15% luck, even if you have good skills but always get bad cards it's nothing.

Skill takes 70%, luck takes 20%, psychology takes 10%. You will win in the long term if you have comprehensive skills, high iq, high eq and so forth. Short term poker is a lucky game.

Its refers to your skill specially in bluffing you need to divert your opponents mind into your game play so that you can trick them. But be careful in bluffing because it will easily lose you in a game. Confident is a mass but not too much. Just manage your chips. Thats it.
