Hi Community,
by MTTs are skills very important but i see players playing very bad hands and having a lot of luck.
Here is the question skills vs luck?
At the end which one is most important.
skill of course, You will definitely be lucky during the tournament, but to win, you need skill, luck will take you to a place, but not to be profitable in poker.

I don't think anyone can escape situations where they have been lucky many times, that said, skill will always win.

It’s a classic debate—luck shows up in the short term, but skill wins in the long run. You’ll always see bad players hitting lucky rivers, but they can’t sustain it. MTTs are a grind. Skill is what keeps you deep consistently—luck just decides how fast you get there.

Skills of course are more important, but you must evolve them. Of course luck is also a very important factor, but you need to manage your luck with the help of your skills. So skills are not just important, they are your course in poker itself!

Just think in long term, who will ear more money, the guy playing with bad hands or the guy playing with good hands? only play thinking in long term.
