Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm brand new to poker!
Why do pros seem so inconsistent in their winnings? For example, a pro could be #1 or #2 in one tournament and then they will be #50/300 or #200/1000 etc in their next tournament. Is this just because of the hands they are dealt on the day? Do they focus more/play differently at bigger events? Is poker just about doing your best each tourney and eventually, if you're good enough, you'll win big? I'm just really curious as to how someone who is able to be #1 can be #300th in their next tourney.
