It's definitely a game of skill, but I personally do not believe that by playing longer you automatically get better.
You actually need to study strategy and odds calculations, together with practicing, in order to get better at the game.
It's perfectly possible to play for years, just as a fun pastime and not actually get any better at the game.
Without being able to do odds calculations on the fly and accurately basing your decisions of off those calculations, you will probably improve very little.

What do you think can be a consistent winning player on this game? is this game of skills or luck?
the longer you play more skills you get?
Bluffing is a skill and getting 4 of a kind is luck.So in my opinion, poker depends on both skill and luck. The more you play, the better chances of winning since you start to understand everything better. The more you play with the "same" opponents, the higher the chances you have in winning the table since you get to know your opponent better and will be able to call his bluffs. the longer you play more skills you get?
It is a game which require a lot of experience and skills I order to beat the dealer and other parties . Also if you are smart you should be able to play with that confident that other players pack their cards thinking the other person have better cards and leave the game .
The dealer?
In which version of the game do you have to beat the dealer? Oo
Poker is PvP not player versus the bank!

Playing for a long time certainly has a lot of benefits to it but learning about it is different from playing it.the longer you play more skills you get?
You should read books or at least read online courses and so forth on how to become better and what to see and what means which etc etc to learn poker a lot better, with that information in your mind you can try to test your skills and practice playing constantly and when you practice it over and over with that info than you can become better.
Just learning from books won't make you a good poker player, just playing without knowing anything won't make you a better player but learning from books and practicing the things you learnt will make you a better player for sure. Of course you may still not be a great poker player considering it takes years and constantly effort to become one of the greats but you will certainly be capable of beating your friends this way.

Not really...
Poker is not about playing. It's about learning.
You need practice of course, but practice is not at all the same thing as playing. Playing without reviewing your games is useless. Most professionnal players spend about as many times studying theoritically as they spend time playing.
You don' tjust play. You play, record the interesting hands, review them afterwards.
You watch other people play.
You experiment with different ranges.
Playing is not important, studying and practicing is.

^ Uuuhhh... No... I don't think a winning player with a preference on higher stakes games would waste their precious time spamming BCT. 
Can you explain how or where anything I said was spam? If you're referring to the pokersnowie link I am in no way affiliated with them and it is a tool that myself and a lot of other profitable players use to analyze multi-way situations.

sharkscope gives me a ability rating of 84 but only tracks tournaments. I'm a long term winning tournament and cash game poker player with a preference for higher stakes cash games. I personally think that luck only matters in the short term and skill wins out over a longer term. Good/great poker players are good at probablistic thinking and counterfactual thinking. If you're wanting to become a winning poker player I would study "range theory", get some tools like poker snowie and study constantly. Here is a great video from Matt Hawrilenko about range theory and GTO style playing. A great quote from the video is:
Quote
Let me be very clear on how important this concept of knowing your own hand and knowing where you are in your distribution is. I think you shouldn't think about anything else in poker until you have bought and paid for a house by knowing where you are in your own distribution and shaping it to be balanced.
There is no guarantee to get winning on the poker game because luck will not always follow on every round. Poker is a game based on skills but having luck will give you a bigger chance to win more money.
So yes, you need skills and luck in the same time, but I don't think that playing poker for a long time will increase your skill, but you will have more experience while you play in all day long. But I don't guarantee that you can win in that day

I notice when I take a break from online poker for a while my win rate definitely goes down. There's a lot of skill factors that can be sharpened and honed in on: not only knowing the relative value of your hand but how to gauge the skill of your opponents, sorting out the bluffers and the slow players, and knowing when you've been playing well versus just getting lucky. Of course luck has something to do with it but the pros will always beat out the lucky given enough hands.
Poker is absolutely a skill play, and I think most of the card game needs skill, and still, there is luck involved, but come on there is always luck involved in all kinds of game. Most of the time in Poker you will get a bad card, I think you will only got a really good card in 1 out of 10 games. So, decision making is the key. You should analyze other players behaviour, and maintain your money management is also important.
Yes because you will going to learn about the cards and the people skills shown. YOu can make some adjustments as you can also know some of the players with the way how they play. Some of them are predictable like they are always doing fraud in betting so that they can dominate in the pool. And once this happen, it will create doubts and fears on your side when you will going continue betting or not. So better experience and learn from this from your opponents.
The skills on gambling is only applicable to card games like poker etc.. The more you play, the more tactics you will acquire to reduce or to mislead your opponent and have a higher chance of winning. Other than that, all games are based on luck. It doesnt matter how long you perform that game because there are no strategies to win.

Poker seems to be the only gambling game which combines both skills and luck. I have seen many experienced players publishing books that explain every possible hand and what you should do according to the flop. There are endless combinations of cards that can be played in Poker but still many circumstances are similar. I think that you should have a skill developed but also be able to know the feelings of the people that are sitting on the table.

You can gain more skills by playing for longer period but it doesn't mean you can win when you want still you need to be lucky to win on poker games.the longer you play more skills you get?
But definitely there is difference in the games of rookie and pro players.
Poker for me is the best where you can risk your money here in crypto gambling because that base in your skills and luck so base in your post OP your not knowledgeable in this then for me the longer you play like if you experience for long time in poker you will really know how to bluff or with good cards works there then the risk in this is not that high compare to other gambling site

A disclaimer, I'm not a poker player
So take my word with a grain of salt, but from what I heard and know it is a game of both luck and skill. However, even if you get more skills as you play along, this doesn't mean you will be a lot more skillful in the end. As with any activity, you should have a predisposition for the job. If you don't have any, you will remain a mediocre player no matter how hard you try (read, you'd better try out something else)
For example, chess is definitely a game of skill because both players are dealt the same "cards" initially but that doesn't mean that the longer you play the stronger you become, in a major way. I think this is fully applicable to poker as well as any other game out there involving skills. So answering your question, you can't be a consistent winner unless you literally live this game. Are you prepared for that?
Yes indeed that's true and if you can get more experience from your previous play then you can minimize your lost because unlike other gambling games to playing poker besides luck and good mentally then people also required good strategy especially when you enrolling particular poker tournaments that you have to able to predict next movement from your opponents
