Pl/Fl = (percentage of) players seeing the flop. Usually used to indicate how tight or loose the table is playing on average.

The lower the SPR, the broader range of hands you should be willing to stack-off with, for example, top pair. The deeper and larger the SPR, the value of what becomes a good hand  (that should be fist-bumping to stack-off/get-it-in) increases to hand values like sets, straights, and flushes.

It's primarily a skill game, although luck plays a huge role. In any single given hand, luck is the predominant factor in who will win or lose. However, poker players don't play a single hand. They play hand after hand after hand & and overall, skill dominates.

Poker has a gambling element to it, which leads some players to question if poker is just down to luck. Although there is a serious amount of luck involved in poker, the fact the same big names regularly win in cash games and tournaments shows that there is skill involved.
