Can you win a tourney without luck?

[UnknownJebrone]

No, you need a lot of luck to win. Winning coin flips is all luck

 

[pvenditto88]

Luck is a major factor in poker whether you have a math edge or not.

 

[bigthereal]

of course, you have to win plenty of all ins to win a tournament

 

[over_big]

Not a chance.

You have to have luck to win.

Even when you're 80:20, if it holds, I consider that mild luck.

Every tournament I've ever won came by way of a suckout or two.

Final answer: NO. You cannot win a tournament without luck, luck plays a fundamental role in poker, some say that unfortunately but it is not a pity when you are on the right side of luck. You have to know how to take advantage of when you are lucky in a tournament and exploit it to where that luck reaches. Regards.

You must be a troll

poker is a game of skill. luck involved is super small percentage . especially long tournoment poker..

 

[Tystick]

Yeah a little

Yes a little luck is needed to hit in the right spots but knowing how to play the table has a lot to do with it and betting when necessary may not need a bunch of luck then

 

[davidkimtai89]

Lucky is core element in playing poker .due to when you have lucky something good will come to you such as suddenly the player all in while you are having A A then you get won .If you have a several times like that you would be easy to take 1 st place .

The structure and how you and your opponents play determine the amount of luck in a single tournament.

Over a large number of tournaments, with luck being equal, the player with the highest skill will make the most money.

Right?

Phil once said "If it weren't for luck I would win every hand"

Not that good (yet) but I say
"If it wasn't for luck - I'd lose more hands than I currently do" snicker snicker

Oh yeah bigpapa - why you playing the freerolls on ACR? Why not join in the micro tab tourney fun? Regardless of what others think - the $2-$5 events are a lot more - lets say - like real poker.
Put your "skills" to real use. Pegging freeroll players is easy.

can you win a tournament without luck

i believe with skill and a lot of luck . i think there a time to be aggressive and make your opponent on deffensive

 

[robertboz]

the unlucky tournament is not won and if you don't risk you don't win

 

[Kenad_MNE]

you just have to win those big flips, so yes, I guess luck is needed in those spots

 

[Tikkles]

Understand, that sometimes you will need to wait 50hands, till you get winning hand.. I know its easier to tilt and go all in with K and 4 of same suit

 

[Cristhian]

I think it's always good to have some luck, there are times when we need a lot of luck.
Besides the strong cards

 

[billibooo]

I really do not think luck comes into good play. You need to think, learn to read your table and make the right calls.

A bit of luck when you shove KK vs AA is never bad.

 

[vittopio]

No tournament win and no one to run over, it's not real! In any case, it will take a bit of luck to survive the huge number of players!
