Is texas holdem more luck or skill?

So, what separates players, causing some to win more over time, and others to post a loss? The answer is simple: it's skill. Therefore, poker has to be classed as a game of skill overall, as it's skill, and not luck, that leads to players making money over the months and years they play the game.

Is texas holdem mostly luck?
The cards dealt are 100% luck. What you do with them is 100% skill. You can win or lose short term based on luck, but long term results are based on skill, more specifically your skill vs the skill of the players you play against. As a side note, it takes different skills to beat different games/ players.
