It's neither. Life is like poker, combining skill, random chance, and the need to understand and anticipate the behavior of other human beings while they do the same with you.

Each of the games mentioned has only two of these three elements.

Also in poker people start with different amounts of money and that matters.

Yep, but you also need to sit down with a certain amount of money, otherwise you'll be playing a different game and at different stakes.
