Agree with ou we just tend to make a bad call and gets out run by luckIn any single MTT, I would agree that "luck" outweighs skill. In the long run, though, that is not true --- especially for a strong MTT player.
Regardless, I think that most of the support for skill over "luck" is from cash players. If we lose a hand due to randomness, we just re-buy and try again --- and if we keep getting it in good, then we will win in the long run (as long as poor bankroll management doesn't "ruin" first.
Good luck.

Luck doesnt exist in my opinion. If you need the last 7 in the pack on the river, odds are 1 in 43. If you hit then you say your lucky even though the other 42 times you will lose. At the same time, statistics mean nothing to the individual. you could be in this situation 5 times and hit your seven every time. So in a way luck does exist?
Skill and discipline trumps luck so its better to be skilled than lucky. Eventually your luck runs out and then so do your chips
I would disagree with what you say, on the highlighted bit.On the whole statistic thing, you pretty much just described luck. Going back to the odds being 1 in 43...sure if you hit something that is a 1 in 43 chance, that's just being lucky. I feel that statistics in a way determines luck to some degree. So yes, luck does exist. It's just determined by bad odds in statistical terms.
Skill>Luck
Luck evens out in the end, at least i think for me it has. I have been sucked out on plenty of times but I have sucked out myself. Its hard not to get aggravated when someone hits a two outer on the river but im sure we all have been on the winning side of that scenario. Its easier to remember the times weve been bad beat than it is the times weve sucked out
In their usual quixotic way the British courts have taken the position, contrary to most American decisions, that poker is a game of chance.

Somewhere out there is an article describing how the Appeal Judge played holdem as part of his decision making process but unfortunately I cannot find it.
As a Brit I have to abide by the idiot's ruling.
He is rite If you are a lose player you probably play with luck , If you play premium hands and tide agresive . You wil make it most of the time . So play tite and keep it real .Hello all long time no come on here. Today Abdi and me have talk about luck vs skill.
I think luck is better than skill I tell him because, with luck you win more times than you lose. But he tell me skill is long run in this many hands or months or years and luck is this many times so luck loses to skill but that makes no sense because if I playing a game and I get good hands and lose to luck that means I lose that game, no? So why luck no beat skill, but skill beat luck? And I lose that game playing good hands against a lucky player, so how is that good for me?
