I CANT HELP IT IF YOU GOT LUCKY

With so many people playing poker today, luck is probably the most important factor. I don't care if your Doyle or Phil, skill will only get you so far. I've out played a million people only to get beat with runner runner or the case card on the river. Luck is such a major part of poker, especially online. Remember it is better to be lucky than good...

Well a lot of Pros (or so-called) would disagree with you on that for one simple reason: It takes skill to get to a final table time and time again...

it is better to be a good player than lucky,luck doesnt last,if you are a good player you will make money over the long run.you might think that you out played all those people but if look back you might find some mistakes you were unaware of.

Interesting conversation. I agree with slipstream to a point. Yes, the more skilled player will win in the long run, but, when you're playing a SnG, or small tournament, you're not looking for long run wins, you're there to win right then. Ring games, on the other hand, I definately agree with slipstream. Skill will overcome the luckiest players in the long run. As with any game there's always going to be a luck factor. The more skilled player has the advantage, the lucky player just gets lucky.

A skilled player will cash more times in all tournaments that an unskilled player, no matter if it is SNG or Multi-table.... Over a period of time.
