    How often does "LUCK" come into play in a tournament? I usually am grateful when it happens, and hopefully I won't need it often. See if luck played a huge part in this winning video:

    During Moneymakers now legendary run, didn't he win several elimination hands on the last card, so luck certainly can play a role.

    Poker is the combination of luck and skill. If Poker was a game of skill, the inexperienced wouldn't play because they would lose every time. If it were too much about luck, the professional players would give up.

    More skill than luck, but always the presence of luck.
