If poker is not about luck why always poker players say me gl when playing?

[Poof]

You always need a little luck. If I am not mistaken they say it in sports too, and there really is no luck there. It is just common courtesy.

[Prawney]

In short its not about luck, But a little luck isnt going to hurt.

I see the argument about poker being mostly skill, but I think those who deny luck playing a major roll in your poker fate is delusional.

tho there is luck involved i thik it's more skill and you always have the option of letting a hand go. good luck i can deal with but what really gets under my skin is when people say (sorry) after they've made a hand coming from behind and won it's kind of a passive in your face 2 me. if they're so sorry why don't they give your chips back ??? Ah?

There is some luck on any given hand, but overall skill takes the lead.

poker is gambling, do not EVER let someone tell you otherwise.

[AlwaysRain]

It's not 100% luck like some persons think, but have a little percentage of luck. But, in my opinion, when they gl is just to be nice.

[wooo]

luck is needed but skill is needed to win overall

[joshtheking]

LOL luck pays a roll but u got to have skills too!If u played the whole tourney off luck u would never win need skillz!

Well I did believe the luck was more important, but even thought you are in great shape when you are in a tournament, you should not only trust with your luck to be able to win it, that's just wrong.
I tried to do that and end up losing.
Trust about your skills and your ability to read your opponents. ^_^
