Variance, run good, whatever you want to call it, certainly plays a part. In his book "Treat your Poker like a Business" Dusty Schmidt talks directly about how he had a 1000 dollars on line that was all that stood between hiim and basically the street. If he hadn't run pretty good at the start of his career, there likely would not have been a career at all. 
 
On the other hand, you have to have the skill, courage, discipline etc to fully exploit the game even when you do run good. Its like any other walk of life, we all get our share of good and bad fortune. Its how we respond to it that matters. 
 
Stu Ungar was a prodigy who won millions. He died broke in a flophouse. Doyle Brunson, faced an injury that ended a potential pro sports career, a battle with cancer, and for years the lack of respectabiliy and legal status of his chosen career. He came out of it with a family, a huge net worth and the respect and admiration of millions of players everywhere.
