There is a lot more skill in poker than people realize. Yes, any fish or average Joe can win any one tournament, or have a great day at the cash tables. But mark his voyage over the year and see how he ends up. Skill is the long term, luck is the short term. Most people who aren't winning players or don't know a lot about poker think it is just a game of luck. (No offense). It clearly isn't. Look at the results the people have on just this forum, that can not be luck.
