    its 100% luck in the short term. 100% skill long term.

    short term and long term is all relative.

    In Response to Luck v skill:
    Following on from dohhhhhhs post "are you a loser or a winner", I would be interested to know what percentage you believe NL holdem is luck and what percentage is skill ? As a loser I would say 20% skill - 80% luck. Im sure winners might think differently ?!!!!

    the skill in online poker is timing and you need a chunk of luck at least 70%  online seems to have a lot more big against bigger hands

    In my opinion its luck what cards you get but the skill is your bet sizes, reading your opponents and knowing when to fold etc

    Cris Ferguson once said that a good tourny player can exspect to win 1-30  who am I to argue with him , thats why when I see the same names winning the same tournies again and again it does make me wonder? Esp. when ive taken money from them at normal tables and seen nothing special n their play . I wonder how Tikay would put his odds at winning a bracelet in the uk and Ireland poker tour next season if he completed in all of them . Mybe SKY should sponcer their most seasoned pro then we could all follow  his results and play.

    i totally agree you dont see ivey ferguson or hansen make even 10% of wpt final tables so why is there about 10 sky poker players who always do in the sky tournies. they must be super duper good or the rest of us are just really bad!!!!
