			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is one of the questions that are asked the most in the poker sector and it does seem to get ignored by a lot of people. A vast amount of people cannot answer this question because of the fact that there is not a definitive answer. But lets have a quick peak and try to see what the game is actually all about, is it mainly skill or luck?</p>
<p>Luck<br /> Lets take a quick look at why you need to have luck to progress in a game of poker, basically its not up to you which cards you get dealt so its down to fate, if you get dealt a good hand then you are more likely to win.</p>
<p>Skill<br /> Technique also plays a huge part in the game of poker itself, because you have to be able to judge a table and ultimatley know when you have been given a bad hand. You also need to know know the exact time to call a bluff.</p>
<p>In my opinion I feel that the game is actually about both elements. But over time I feel skill creeps in alot more. As an example if you was a beginner and you played against someone of professional status then I can confidently say that by chance you may win one or two games at most.</p>
