I like your phrase. I would say: “Luck decides some hands, but skill decides who's still at the table.”-1respect1- said:

I'm still learning and making mistakes, but every tournament teaches me something new. The goal is to keep improving and never stop chasing the next level.

One of my absolute favorites has always been from Mike McDermott in Rounders: 'Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you are the sucker.' Never gets old

One of my favorites is:
"Poker is a game of skill disguised as a game of luck."
It perfectly captures the idea that while short-term results are influenced by variance, long-term success comes from making consistently good decisions.
