Message: [QUOTE="Brian182, post: 1046418, member: 22439"] Luck definitely plays a big part. Playing good poker only gives you a chance at winning the big money. Luck is what accelerates you to that big money. Also keep in mind that good poker players get sucked out more, and have less chances of being lucky. By this, I mean, if you're a good poker player, you are going to be playing better hands than the average player, meaning you'll usually have the odds, creating more opportunities for others to suck out on you (winning with less odds). Also, these guys playing with the lesser odds need to get lucky to survive these situations. Of course, there's also luck independent from what other players do, like the luck of getting the premium hands versus being card dead the whole tournament (which happens a lot, and you do sometimes have to donk yourself on purpose to get lucky for a chance to even make the money).
