Message: [QUOTE="btown32, post: 350926, member: 7147"] [b]skill vs luck...[/b] i couldnt agree with you more nate. yes, poker is a skill game compared to slots or roulette, but you need both skill and luck to survive. especially with the increased participants in all the big tourney fields. it doesnt matter how much skill you have when you have aces and the other person has kings and the flop comes with a king. you did all you could do...but all the skill in the world cant change how the deck is stacked. knowing all the odds and probabilities gives you a good headstart, but poker is not just a mathematical game. we all know that there is a lot of people reading skills involved too. how would you explain varkonyi winning the championship? tremendous amount of luck!!
