I agree with Phil Hellmuth, the luck influences but it takes skill:

30% luck 70% skill. My opinion
50% of the time I am right all the time
skill 10 % and luck 90 % on pokerstars ...fulltilt skil 30 % and luck 70 %
Luck for those who don't know how to play, skill for those who know...
It's a mixture of both so i would have to say it's pretty much 50/50
Skill as in how to know to manipulate the other players, to know the cards that are in play so you can make assumptions and the right calls and such.
Luck well pretty simple to understand this one....just be lucky and get a good pair of cards or when bluffing.
I think in the long run skill takes over, but there is a lot of luck involved!
In my opion it is a skill.
Off course sometimes you need some luck.
A bad beat or a weird combination, but most of the time you play the golden hands and are patience.
I don't like the term luck because that implies some otherworldly influence. I prefer random chance. And poker playing is having the skill to make the right moves so that the odds are in your favor. Thus where an individual game is pure "luck", over the long term it's 100% skill.
i think alot is luck and sometimes in just a window in time where luck happens
