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

In a freeroll you act like if money aren't important, thats why you can clearly see people with any two cards going allin, you can't base skill on a freeroll, seriously, it's like going to rob a bank with 45 bazookas.

Totally agree.

It is both based on skill and luck, you can get paid with skill and and you can get paid with luck. You will not win a high stakes MTT with just one and not the other. It is based on both to go all the way. Lower stakes mainly based on luck.

it's a skill game where luck plays a really small part
and usually the best players who are suffering bad beats , cause they usually ahead and they don't need dealer's help
you should always think about the long run , in the previous example the donk will win the hand around 15% of times
so think if you are in the same situation with him again in another 100 hands in the future you will win massive money from him

So can we say that you can only win freerolls by luck?

Poker, is the art of doing best combination with randomly dealt.We all need luck.We can win with a luck, but you can also loose by luck.Poker is a zero total game.If you can calculate your risk, you increase your chance to win and also limit your loss.

Poker is definitely more a game of skill doesn't matter on whether you play in real life or not, of course it involves some luck as all gambling games but mostly its skill

It's a mixture of both. You need to be very skilled & pretty intelligent but then again you can only do so much if you get a really shitty hand. The thing about poker is any amateur can beat a pro with a great hand.

It is absolutely a game of skill. You need to know the probabilities of getting a favorable hand based on what cards you have and what community cards are down. You also need to know how other players react to various probabilities when they have various types of hands (when they end up needing to show their hands).

If you do not know when to fold, raise and call, then you will almost certainly end up loosing, and loosing big.

Its mostly luck I guess if you are playing online as you cant communicate with other players but if you play it in real life it is mostly game of skill

im agree, when you have pair in your hand card sure we can talk you need skill to prediction other player card but if you no have pair or big card in hand you needed luck

[vendetahome]

Well people have to have a lot of skills if they want to be a good poker player though I guess you need luck in everything not only in gambling so poker is also based on luck

[katerniko1]

ofc there is small factor of luck but its mostly of skill and patience and control feelings
so i would say 90% skill 10% luck

Luck is only a really small part in poker games as people usually have to develop their skills in order to become professionals because of that poker is mainly skill

[Coinshot]

There's no doubt that poker is a game of both skill and luck. In the long run, i would say that skill is the more important factor,
but then again; if all you get are bad cards, there's only so much place for bluffing.
The main thing is to keep calm, and not let emotions cloud your judgement, and also; having a pre arranged plan on when to back off is always welcome.
