[b]FATE vs LUCK vs SKILL[/b]

You look at how some people have won their WSOP bracelets and it makes you wonder.

As an example, Doyle Brunson won the WSOP bracelet two years in a row with one of the most worthless hands in texas hold'em:  10-2.  In the first case his 10-2 hit two pair on the turn while in the second case his 10-2 hit a miracle hand made on the river.

Fate?  Luck?  Skill?

I'm not doubting Doyle Brunson's aptitude as a poker player.  However, it would appear that variance gave him at least two of his bracelet wins.

I do agree that luck favors the bold.  To what extent, however, does one attribute one's success to FATE, LUCK, or SKILL?

Sometimes one merely needs to be in the right place at the right time to achieve success.  I sometimes wonder whether how things pan out is predetermined; in the case of doyle brunson's 2 year in a row win, I would have to say the empirical evidence suggests that FATE did in fact play a major role at least in the outcome of the final hands for those two WSOP tournaments.  The WSOP bracelets were there for Doyle just waiting for him to push all his chips in with 10-2....
