Is poker science or luck? A discussion as old as 1870 as this story by Mark Twain will tell you:

Exactly so .... it is a game of mathematics. Over a period of time, I can GUARANTEE I will be a winner ... there may be ups and downs, but eventually the math, if you use it, pays off. It is truly science.
Like walter says its a game of luck! just like blackjack is. This is another even ESPN televises
