Imho , it is.

Luck is such a huge factor in it, especially tourneys because you will have to eventually play numerous hands, all in preflop, that are coin flips and that no real strategy is involved once the flop, turn and river are dealt, all you do is sit there and hope luck is on your side.  Furthermore, its a game where players continually put all their money in preflop when they only have 2 cards which only represents 28% of their total hand.  This truly is the definition of crapshoot poker.

And their are numerous examples of big name poker players, who became famous and wealthy, by putting their whole stack in a pot as a 90% or more underdog, and getting lucky to win. A perfect example is Moneymaker in the WSOP main event he won. He was involved in a hand with a guy that went all in on the flop , and the guy had pocket aces. I think moneymaker  had pocket 6s  and moneymaker went all in...and even said " I KNOW IM IN TROUBLE"  .....moneymaker got all his money in, and turned a 6 to beat the pocket aces. Lets face it, NL hold em is really a crapshoot game when compared to other forms of poker that are limit/ pot limit  . I was actually dissapointed when TV was able to transform the poker landscape and make NL hold em the big game of choice in the casinos and home games.
