No. You simply can't win a poker tournament without luck, however, you can create your own luck
And by that, I mean you can cash in a tourney by using skill, however, you still need some luck to win a tournament. The idea of winning a tournament is alluring to people, I only look at things in numbers, will I profit from the tournaments long term.? Winning or "getting on TV" means jack shit to me lol
I am only playing to make a profit to pursue other creative outlets, although I do think poker is creative! And I do enjoy it! It's a long story
There is a sense of accomplishment of feeling from winning a tournament, but not at all the same from creating a video (or anything, writing, helping...anything) that changes lives, or inspiring great change (not that I have yet..really)
My ego does not live in Poker, it lives in creating. So to win a poker tournament, is just a bonus for my creative interests, and before you scold me for that comment, there are many poker players that feel the same way.
The game is fun, have fun, but play responsibly, and don't get caught up in the BS of it.
And don't let your ego think your special, because the game still has luck.
Everyone has a special talent, and that talent should be used outside of Poker IMO.
Poker is a game.
