Some say luck others say skill, but it truly is a bit of both. Personally I feel that having the ability to represent any two cards, in holdem's case, being able to read opponents, and giving off a personal image of yourself at the table are only some of the many skill based major aspects of the game, theres no need to say skill does infact over shadow luck. Many people that have grown up with the game being around but always thought of it as shady or gambling, will never give in to the countless facts proving otherwise. Some of which being why countless number of known faces are seen countinuasly at the major tournament deep runs or final tables. Honestly I feel bad for these people. Poker is a game of life that should be experienced and embraced by all. I know, I know I sound like an avid player thats gone off his mind with game but im not. In poker you experience every type of emotion as well as learn how to deal with them, you also learn how to read and pick up on others emotions and have sound reasoning on why and what is making them act a certain way. There are times of highs that need to be controlled and manipulated and lows were tilting is the only thing on your mind. These all relate to life, and how and why we as humans act the way we do, say the things we do and what we come up with when all we want is someone to fold to our actions and move on with the rest of life.
