Skills or Luck?

[sheenazbay]

I think, we need both luck and skill, because it all depends on the cards we get, and how we choose the cards to exchange. if we get a royal flush, it's a fortune. good luck all

[mybalando]

i dont believe on skill on any gambling site, i think its more on luck, if you feel not lucky on that day you are playing, much better to stop for a while and try another day.

I think this has to be both cannot tell which matters more but you can still increase your chances , for example if somebody is extremely lame and has no skill

and he would randomly hold some cards which just lower the chances of winning , for example 4 cards below 10 in different colors and not straight 

that can lead you to pretty quick rip but you still can win because of big luck on first hand even royal flush but you still can choose not to hold it if you are stupid

so yeah it is combination of luck and skill imo but only skill cannot make you profit in any casino game so it wont be gambling  

good luck everybody and play responisble my beebs

I think having a really stacked bankroll is the key to being able to have a shot at witnessing the Royals.

The following table (Excerpt from WoZ) shows how increasing the number of betting units from 15,254 to 101,347 (1st Column) brings your risk of ruin from a huge 50% down to an acceptable 1%. 

 

The most important part of it all is if you have enough units and just a little luck, a Royal will eventually show itself - which is key to profit in a game such as Video Poker 😇

Hey everyone!! So what do you think that a player mostly needs to come up profitable when playing Video poker? Is it pure luck or you are actually able to win using your skills? Maybe both? What's your personal opinion?

I would say luck is the major factor here because even if someone apply skills if they does not get good cards then no skills can bring them good profits but if they have good luck and they get good cards then they will see only only to apply a certain portion of skill and can win massive.

That is true, but even the autobet may choose the proper cards for you, Video Poker mostly needs patience and a nice bankroll while multipliers has to be way higher than they are. You might need low skills, luck is essential.

Luck of course. Here Rand is all about, and no matter what kind of a master in this field.

[nuuuitsjdragon]

Even with the highest level of skill attainable, I don’t see myself being able to get a Royal Flush.

Luck on this game is practically negative 0, I think a phobia of this game is actually possible now. 😓

[weswayahe]

 Feeling and luck.

Every game this site need luck, without that small chance to win or big win.

gambling is based on pure luck if you want unimaginable profit.
But u can win small profit on day to day basis with ur strategy.

Video poker is really nice game but here u need luck only, no strategy work here.

[Dp10011]

It requires a bit of strategy. Because there is no point in discarding a good combination expecting a miracle in the cards.
But when it comes to skill, I don't think so.

Because it is something online and played against the machine is not the same thing as real poker that requires player skills.

This is really a card slot!

[meggiemegs]

I feel it is a bit of both. You def need some skill to know which cards to pick because sometimes there are multiple routes you could take and try to get different hands either going for something big or trying for something easy like jacks or better to just stay relevant. You obv need the luck for the cards your looking for to actually be dealt.

[celeng]

In my opinion luck, because it is very difficult to play and profit in video poker games

[sugam]

Well I guess Video Poker maybe totally depends on luck maybe ... I don't think we need much skills in Video poker haha .. that game is so fcked up

[cryptofly]

What about common sense?  Video Poker is one of the games I like the most due the fact that you will bet against only one deck of cards and because of this the logic in your betting should be the one that rules your hand.  Nobody will let go a pair of something (unless you are chasing a crazy challenge or crazy hit).  Skills are first, in order to choose the right cards to keep, then luck.  Good luck.

[GKD09]

I think Video Poker requires much more skill compared to other games, which require mostly luck. 

A player who plays poker often may understand the probabilities and play accordingly where as a newbie would make bets where the odds are not in their favor. I myself play poker a lot and had decent runs on video poker.

Also there are sites which gives you the best hand for the particular cards in hand, which could give you the best outcome, but it is quite annoying to always select the cards etc 

[gregorlca]

I think personally its at most luck... like in holdem on Omaha behind the table but not at all ofcourse:)

[ChopChop]

Both are importantt.
but in some games skills is imp like hilo, bj
in some luck like mines 
but skill and strategy is imp too

[jfski143]

Like the majority said. I think you should have both (skills + luck)

If you have both then next on that would be PROFIT 

If you only have 1 of these. For example just pure luck.

There's a big chance that you would win of course, but with the combination of skills, your chance of winning bigger profit would be much much more higher right?

But if you only have skills no luck. Sometimes you could avoid losing bigger money, since you have the skills.

Oh well, this is only my opinion. We have our own principles. Our own strategies. So what ever you think is right for you. Just do it and just stick with it!

Pure luck 

[Krspnc]

I use my luck for win but always loses hahahaha

[IBetNuts9]

Total and Absolute Luck! 

In my years of online and live poker, can certainly say this that it's all RNG driven as most casinos will say. It's similar to playing with a dealer in a casino rather than a group of players or cash tables. There is no scope to adjust bet sizing or bluff (An Important Skill In Poker) since one is on the receiving end all the time and  can only watch what's unfolding. Well, there is always an option and that's to muck cards if you have a 9,2 Off. Even Rockets- A, A can be easily busted by two pair, trips or even better sometimes by video or playing against the dealer. Seen it all 😉

They say that video poker is a game of skill..just play well enough.

[Gretchen25]

Add skill but you need more luck. 😉

[Rvasquez]

IMO No such thing as pure luck. A player might be skilled enough to gain enough profit. who knows this player might be studying the poker for some time now and found the right pattern therefore ending a consistent win .
