| Re: Head's Up Arguments for Skill vs Luck I do think that luck can determine the outcome of an entire tournament, and I've seen it happen. But that's the short term. Double- or triple-elimination matches tend to reduce but cannot eliminate the impact of luck on a single tournament.
In the long run, however, it's skill. Except for Mike Matusow, luck tends to even out and over time it's the same for everybody (if you still have a bankroll, that is). |
