Poker is not 100 percent skill oriented so ofc even a fish can win also.

Fish sometimes do good simply by getting lucky a few times early and building a chip stack. After they have it they just keep pushing with their chips till they get lucky again. it happens short term in cash tables as well you can see a fish do well for a few sessions sometimes if they keep hitting. Fortunatly it only lasts a short time in either situation Soon they loose it all again and wonder what happened. That's why bankroll management is so important to get past these days and on to the next game when you can dominate him . take notes on what he does in what situations cause fish very seldomly change their style.

A fish does not have enough to reach a final table. But the Poker sometimes favors you constantly, also this is a game of odds. So yes, I think if can achieve it.

Let's analyze: Blinds of 45 min with stack 10000 chips (in average) in live poker against blinds of 5 min with stack 1500 chips (in average) in online poker. It's a lot of difference between the luck factor and the skill.

At the final table are fish, a simple example of EPT finals.

A lot of bad players win tour tournaments because the stacks get shorter and you can get lucky in all in spots since there are more all ins. You look at some of these winners and their graphs. Its just going down with one big spile and down down down with another big spike but still in the red.

I think fish can make it to a MTT final table with any donkey and even sharks who realize they really are only a shark in their own mind.

Any fish can get to the money or even at the final table, playing safely, letting others to eliminate each other, and having a bit of luck. But winning against pro players at the final table would require a ton of luck.

Hmmm

anyone can reach a final table and yep fish get there by swimming too,fish players have luck like good players do, but overall fish sink fast

not everyone gets a prize and you're talking about the final table. But I agree with you, fish need more luck than professional player

Unfortunately luck beats skill every time. So anythings possible. Though the fish would have to be extremely lucky to reach the final table.

That sounds counterintuitive. Any complete donk ever win the main event? Plenty of celebs have entered

Every participant has chances to win. The good players win more often and bad players very seldom.

Fish. Final Table.

Chris Moneymaker.

The biggest fish of all time to ever win the Main Event.

In My Humble Opinion.


I won a tournament at a local casino, well, not really local, I had to drive 2hrs out of state. Won $1500.
It was crazy!!
$10 buy in. Unlimited $5 re-buys for the first hour. Dudes had stacks of $5 chips, no look all in for most of the table. 55 players. You do the math.
$1500 was top prize. They paid out 7 places. In-sane.

I was a fish. But they were bigger fish.

Freeroll fish can win, it affects mostly the luck factor, but tournaments of higher level - is unlikely.
