Message: [QUOTE="Gipsystripsy, post: 6515299, member: 1048210"] A very good question and in my opinion it depends on how many tournaments or hands you play. I can't agree with the arguments that poker is 60% skill. Most players play mostly only 1 tournament or one table at a time. The people who are in profit belong to the 5% of poker players. With such players I agree that you make profit in the long run, especially since these players play a bunch of hands. But what many forget is that the average player plays far fewer hands. This significantly increases the amount of luck. Let's take a turbo tournament as an example. You can be the best player in the world and still be first out of the tournament with 2 aces if the situation arises. In the long run, skills are the deciding factor. But you have to get there first. Since not everyone makes it, there are only 5% of all players who are successful in poker. So I think the statement is not right, because a long endurance is also an important skill that many do not have. But this is a prerequisite to increase the skill share compared to the luck share. Another example: Fedor Holz "was" enormously successful not only because of his talent, but also because he played an incredible number of hands. He sat for more than 8 hours a day and played poker non-stop. Now that he has retired and plays only as much as the average player, you hear far less from him. We should learn from this and work much more on "perseverance" and discipline if we want to be so successful. Fedor, I think, can and could keep his emotional thoughts well under control. [/QUOTE]
