Message: [QUOTE="mikejm, post: 1696432, member: 71275"] The tournaments with large fields require an incredible amount of luck. Nobody wins the main event without getting lucky a few times. In Phil Gordons little green there's a chart of the odds of surviving an all in pre when you have aces and your opponent has kings. I'm not going to post the chart but the odds of surviving if you get all in preflop AA over KK you will only survive twenty percent of the time. Now your not always going to get it all in AA over KK so your chances are even worse when you end up stacking AJ over KQ obviously your getting it in decently here but if you do this three times in a tournament your gonna be taking a seat on the rail unless you get lucky. So to sum it all up it takes an extreme amount of luck to win these but the more skill that you have is obviously a big plus. [/QUOTE]
