I agree with you that poker needs skill to be able to win. However, the factor that in my opinion also accounts for 50% to help you win is luck, you are lucky to have better and stronger cards than your opponent's cards, your chances of winning will be higher. If you have a good skill and good luck, that's great.

That's obvious. Without skill, you will only experience defeat. Perhaps, luck still plays a role in winning the game of poker, but we also have to have skills in playing poker, including how we can bully opposing players. I've seen someone play poker convincingly even though, after one round, it turned out that the cards weren't that good. I also don't understand where it's not good because I don't really understand the poker game. Perhaps, that person can bully other players by convincing them that he has very good cards.

You may call it bullying, but it's really just a standard move in the poker dance.

The two who have commented before you are clueless. Luck is only important in poker in the short term. maydna even seems to have invented a neologism, as I don't recall ever hearing that term, bullying, applied to poker. The situation he describes we call bluffing, not bullying. And bluffing can go wrong, you can get caught. Would I still call it bullying then? I don't think so.

Well in some casinos, they really call it bullying bit indeed with gambling context it should be bluffing. Maybe it is because of the act with slight of intimidation towards the opponents. However this only works with amateur players. Have tried this once with a 'veteran' and it just became funny doing 'coz it had no effect to him. It is still an effective strategy especially if you're at the edge for having a not so good set of cards on your end. Its efficiency I think depends on the doer whether he/she would execute it properly without revealing that it is actually bluffing. Doomed if you face against people who counts and notes cards.
