Luck is priceless in poker. You can play correctly at all times, but one blow will strip you of chips and prize money. In cash games, loss means that you have to buy a stack. But in the tournament it is always a departure from the game. Sometimes you can do a re-purchase, but it's your money again, and you only get the starter stack.

Of course you need lots of luck to win a big tournament. Even if you are in a great spot when the chips go in you still need luck for that hand to hold out. Other scenarios can just play themselves out which you can find yourself on the wrong side of. For example, I saw a guy go all in with KK, he was called twice by aces and another pair of kings.
Skill matters, but you need luck or it won't be enough.

In any case, you need luck. And in poker, even more so. Be you, at least an excellent player, but if luck has left you, then there will be no accumulation of chips. And with the increase in buy-in you will lose the stack.

To win a tournament? Of course, not lucky difficult to do, almost impossible. No matter how good a player you need luck this is a fact you can get 9 out of 10 times the final table, but to win the tournament you need luck of course!

Show me a man who is lucky every day! But of course, luck does not negate the need to be able to play. Otherwise, your angel banker will have a very difficult time keeping it.

i believe 100%. because in the end you still need the cards to win. of course you need to play your opponent and sometimes you win and dont have any cards, but lets say the other players plays as good as you, in the end you will need the cards. and online poker to me is bull. because people will go all in with bad hand in in the majority of times they win. it happens to me at least 8 of 10 times i have the best hand, at least on pokerstars.

Lucky to be good.
It goes without saying that you need to be a good player to win at poker ... but you need to be lucky to be good also. Any successful poker player will testify that they are also very lucky at times. BTW: in my opinion Phil Hellmuth talks a better game than her plays.

Poker is an investment and return game, as an action in a financial market.I believe that luck is the opportunity along with the daily dedication to change and want the outcome, so we call it luck:lollypop:

It's hard to win a poker tourney without luck! You can play near perfect and still run bad meaning not getting lucky. Thats a big part of the game, you just cant let your emotions get the best of you or you will start making incorrect decisions!

To win a MTT you definitely need luck, whether that be getting good pocket cards, good flops, winning flips, or hitting that 2 outer on the river.
Good solid play can decrease your reliance on the luck factor but you still need some to win it all.
