Poker is considered a mental game and with the proper skills you'll be able to be lucrative at long run, it's not strange that the top players always are winners, I mean, would they get lucky every time till they reach the top?, and even more lucky to stat there? Surely luck has part in it, but it's minimal, about 15%, the other 85% is purely skill. To have skill in poker doesn't mean you'll win every pot, it means that you'll know what to do in each situation and each spot, sometimes you'll have to do the most profitable play in a spot, and in other spots (I would say, most of the time) you will need to know what is the less unprofitable play so you don't spare money on bad pots. This is why the Tight Aggressive is the optimal strategy in most cases, cause it's not that complicated and it's very profitable by the time you are able to extract a lot of chips from the opponents.

Most likely Yes, but good luck in it too

I understood. It all depends on how and what you play. Played yesterday in the tournament. I have 10 big blinds. 5 hands in a row I did fold. And I have 1 big blind left. Because the rates grew very fast, every 1.5 minutes, + I was transferred to another table. In high-speed tournaments only luck matters.

Poker is not a game of luck
At Poker you should not leave everything to chance. If that were the case, professional players would not be able to keep up their pace because as we know, they daily get considerable rewards and hence their full-time dedication.
It is said that in Poker a 20% has to do with luck. But, ¿How can we agree with this statement?

I will always prefer a high level of luck to go along with my finite degree of skill.

Is poker a game of luck or a game of skill?
An American judge said that poker is not a game of luck but rather of abilities, well we have those who disagree with it and say that poker is luckier than abilities.
Some of the players still said that the more the game is slow, the more likely it will be to get results! .. Is this correct? And who plays turbo? In this case it's screwed up?
Many say that in SNG tournaments these have a higher probability than other games, that you think of these statements, she proceed?
There are also players who say that we need both things to win,luck and ability ... but what is the real probability from one another ?
We start from these numbers to see how many poker players say they That the statement is correct
* 50/50 60/40 70/30 80/20 In this last one we see that the ability is at 80%, we must consider that they are players with vast experience in poker,
They are correct in making such a statement

The idea that the slower the game is the more smart players thrash idiots is very true. Cash games are better than tournaments plain and simple.
Understand the concept that if you see a million hands, you will be able to have good hands more often and bad beats will hit you a minority of times but if you see only one hundred hands, proportionality isn't going to be too clear.
Life is a battle against the odds, we're all going to die with 100% guarantee, everyone we know who we help who we kiss who we refuse to kiss will all die. It was all for nothing but we battle on to find meaning, we battle on to be the champion beast we were born to be. Why? That is the truth; we are all battling hoping we somehow achieve immortality. Never lose your faith but never forget your reason, you are a lucky little fish for being the sperm that hit the egg and didn't miscarry, you are lucky for being alive today for not being run over or killed in other ways.
Understand your fortune, know that fate is a merciless mistress and she will bare you no sympathy if you blame her for your misfortune, just roll with the punches, let your aces get beat by that 46o hand, do not cry do not bat an eyelid say 'gg wp' and battle on. You are not at the poker table to win every hand, you are at the poker table to minimize your losses and maximize your winnings, don't blame fate, you are the one with the hands, you are the one who must utilize aggression and passivity to your advantage.

They shouldn't call you aspiring member but inspiring!!
All jokes aside though, you're completely right. It sucks when you lose that AA hand vs 64o preflop allin, but those are the guys that make us win money. They won a battle but we will win the war, and that's that.
Thinking of this always helps me get rid of the tilt.

Honestly when in the larger fields and smaller stakes tournaments luck plays a greater part because the amount of gamblers vs true sportsmans. Its very sad but true. Until you have someone taking the sport of poker serious the fact is that the donks will always call you to the river until they get that ultimate suckout! However when you finally have the nuts and are able to punish them for making retarded calls it does feel great!!
