Message: [QUOTE="Phoenix Wright, post: 6190529, member: 419963"] This is true, but you are looking at this from a long-term perspective like career pros tend to do. In the long-term it is almost all skill and no luck...but in the short-term variance it is much more luck and less skill. I feel like variance is over-talked about if anything, yet under-grasped by many; it is paradoxically talked about a ton, but often misunderstood in practice. Even if you play one MTT each week for a year, that is only 52 MTTs per year and this is susceptible to a lot of variance. Conversely, over an entire poker pro career, the variance balances and it is primarily all skill :cool: As with most things in life, one can improve if willing to invest the time and effort to do so...but many may not realize just how MUCH time and effort real improvement requires. It is by no means impossible and by all means reachable, but it won't be a walk in the park ;) As a "newer" poker player, I've never been to a casino, but my year or so of cardschat freerolls and online cardschat events has given me something :) When the pandemic ends, I'd like to play at a casino and see how I like the experience - perhaps I might become a regular there :cool: but the nearest one is a little over an hour drive away from where I live :( (not as far as some people, but not ideal) True, but even freerolls and microstakes can add up :) You are correct though, any "substantial" amount requires slightly higher buy-ins and bankroll. Agreed :) Just about anything is possible to improve at if one invests enough time and effort into, but it is no secret that some things come more naturally to some and that time isn't infinite for us on this earth - we only get to go around once ya know?
