While an element of chance always exists in poker, successful professional players undoubtedly possess a high degree of skill and expertise. Luck provides an opening, but skill builds the fortune.

These players have studied the game intensely, calculated probabilities, and developed intuitive feel for advantageous decisions. They read their opponents meticulously, detecting weaknesses and vulnerabilities to be exploited.

Each hand is approached strategically, evaluating risks versus rewards, pot odds versus implied odds. Effective bet sizing and positioning play a pivotal role. A skilled player maneuvers the action, builds the pot when strong, applies pressure when weak.

Mistakes are minimized, money is maximized. An unskilled player relies on hope, a superb player applies art and science. Fortune favors the prepared and apt. Luck gives the opportunity, skill takes full advantage.
