Message: [QUOTE="Matt_Burns88, post: 5323477, member: 343619"] It depends over what time period you are talking about. In the short term, luck plays a huge role. In the longer term skill plays more and more of a part. Think of it this way; if a top pro and a complete rookie played one hand together, the likelihood is that the rookie calls all the way to the river and there's a 50/50 chance they will win the hand and the money. Over 10 hands, the pro has a slight advantage, of course the rookie could flop quads into the pros boat and the rookie wins the night. Over 100 hands the pro is almost a certainty to win, even if the rookie hits 3 or 4 monster hands, the pro is likely to finish on top Over 1000 hands I'd put my house on the pro winning, because in the end skill is a much bigger factor than luck in the long term [/QUOTE]
