Cmon guys, there is no set skill/luck ratio in poker and it always annoys me when people make estimates about this (especially really outlandish ones like 25% luck!?!?!?). Whoever posted that is clearly not a good player and I would love to have him at my card table.

Do you know how lucky this would make some of the top players mathematically?? (eg. Dan Harrington making the final table in 2003 and 2004 WSOP with thousands of players in the pool.)

I think Chris Ferguson puts it best: on any given hand (short run) poker is 99% luck, but in the long run its 100% skill. Cards go around. Luck doesn't grant, it just lends.
