How important is luck to winning a tournament?

[Shaka1984]

For me it is very important that luck is on your side, at some point you will need it to win otherwise it is very difficult.

 

[gravii2011]

It's very important. Without luck, you won't be able to win the tournament.

 

[fryderyk]

Luck is very important. 75% skill, 25% luck.

when you talk about luck... you must be lucky to have players with decent hands that are willing to bet when you have the nuts
you must be lucky nobody calls your bluffs
you must be lucky to get good cards that you are able to play.

I couldn't tell you a percentage, but I'm going to tell you that being lucky while playing a tournament is very important, especially at those times when you need them

Hi, I think that a luck is a little percentage is more the skills that you apply in every game you play in according you get information from your opponents.

They say that to win a tournament you must play well and be lucky to win some hands, you will not always depend on luck; With the passing of time, the ability is what will give you the best results.

Luck is important in poker tournaments. While skill matters, luck can greatly impact short-term results. In a single tournament, even an inexperienced player can win with some luck on their side. However, over multiple tournaments, skill and smart decision-making become more crucial for consistent success. It's essential to learn how to handle luck's ups and downs and focus on making good choices. Skilled players have an advantage in the long run. Remember, you can't control luck, but you can control how you respond to it

Luck always comes in handy. Winning a coin-flip or a suck out is always nice.

Luck influences but is not decisive.

I agree, it is difficult or even impossible without luck. Luck is an integral part of the game, although the player's skill and experience increase our chances of luck.

luck is 60% important, but skill 40% is my opinion, when the card does not go within 10 hands of the tournament, then I lose 100%

 

[kidrock1211]

You can play AA and lose a bunch of times because the other player got lucky and hit a set or they got really lucky and sucked out with junk hand You will need some of that same luck in almost every game if you want to place.

I agree! No one is lucky all the time.

Luck is the most important factor for someone to win a tournament.

[amonlima]

It is essential to avoid the traps of the deck, more importantly, is not to have bad luck in the tournament; And Knowing that you are better than most players in that particular tournament.

 

[successlaw]

Ye it is so important in flips especially in late game

 

[jazux48]

Success is important, but sometimes you need to listen to your intuition, because success will not lead to victory

 

[GarotoMaroto]

Its important of course but its all about math and strategy XD
God bless

 

[Cooking]

Luck is very important to win one tournament. If you are in a luck day you can easily win a tournament even if you play against better players than you. But in the long run to be a successful player, skills and psychological factors are way more important.

 

[hideoka]

I guess luck is a big part, but patience is also very important.

 

[hideoka]

I think poker is one of those things that doesn't have a 'permanent' rule, like for instance, 7-2 is considered the worst hand but I've seen people go all in with A-K and lose to some crazy dude that called with a 7-2. Sometimes it's luck, sometimes is skill, I guess that's why it's so fun, it never gets boring

 

[Shep11111]

Tons of luck. You typically have to win a bunch of races to go deep in a tourney.

 

[olejean]

You will not win the tournament without luck! Even more, it is difficult to reach the prize places, if at a certain moment luck does not smile on you.

 

[jonaselloco]

Luck is the fundamental factor for every player to win a Tournament.
I remember a French Sow player playing a hand of KK in a tournament in Europe against Fabiano Kovalsky the Brazilian.
Then look at it, and look at the rest of the hands in the video that the link left you, and then tell me if you don't have to be lucky in a tournament.
If you don't look at the Italian who won, he had a blind left.
Look at everything because that tournament was great.
