More of just a musing, and perhaps more relevant to tournament poker, but how many mainstream or well known poker pros just ran great at the right times and were able to parlay that into a career, or at least enough profit to not need to worry if they win another big session or tournament?

Much like life, poker has a lot of luck.

Great examples: Players who bink a huge tournament , make a huge score that changes their financial life .  Even more so for those early on who suddenly have a massive bankroll and if done right have little financial worry outside of poker after that score.

Variance is enormous in poker. Fate is made or sealed on 1 and 2 outers.

So how many pros would still be grinding smaller tournaments and games or would have been an unknown in poker if wasn't for a few good hands holding or a lucky river in a key moment?

Poker is an easy game when variance is on your side, and from a mental game perspective and even easier game when you've got some big wins behind you.
