I think variance confuses a lot of people, you read things like "I always lose with AA" that kind of stuff.  Everyone gets the same cards and opportunities over a long enough time line.  When I would play several thousand hands a day, it was easy to see. You would run real well and make an obscene profit, and then the bad beats would come and even things out more.  How you played during the whole, what skills you had completely determined the profit margin, luck had nothing to do with it, UNLESS you were doing things like playing microstakes one day, and much higher levels the next, then luck can enter in, if you get all your good hands at one level and all your bad hands at another, then your profit will be skewed by luck.  Also, MTTs can be effected by luck, you need your best hands at the final table, if that happens it can feel like luck, BUT the more MTTs you play the more it evens out, and luck falls away.  The one cure for variance in quantity of hands.  On a long enough timeline luck plays 0% in poker.
