I don't know much about card games because I don't go deep into it but in the case of poker, isn't strategy also important? CMIIW

Although luck is certainly an inseparable thing but it seems that the way luck works in this game is not much different from betting at sportsbooks where strategy, decision making and skills in reading situations are very important in this case.

Luck in gambling is always a determining factor for the results we can achieve but in one condition sometimes there are some gambling that does have to think of a strategy to make the probability bigger and I think Poker is included in it because the conditions are not too different from the sportsbook where we bet with the analysis we do as a probability maker supported by luck for the final result.

Luck isn’t that important in betting either, because you are the one choosing the bet. The main deciding factor in choosing a bet is the player, what they decide to bet on. If someone is a poor analyst and doesn’t understand the sport they’re betting on, then yes, it turns into a game of luck. In poker, everything matters the player’s skill and what they can do with bad cards. You need some luck to get good cards, but in poker, you also have to know how to play when you have a bad hand.

I think this is a bit of a mistake because after all, even though in the end we make the bet ourselves or we choose the bet, in the end luck determines the result.
We can take an example in betting on soccer or basketball. We are free to choose which club we want to bet on but the outcome of the match and the final result of the bet we make again depends on our luck and the club we bet on because after all the final result in a match can always be unexpected and there are even things that we don't expect to happen.

Although in the end the favorite club that we choose as a bet but in the end when our luck does not come in betting on our favorite club we will still lose so in the end regardless of any gambling including betting, luck will always be a factor that cannot be separated in the gambling that we do in the end.
