In poker, as you point out, there are millions of hands over a career. Well, how many "decisions" does a business owner face in his career? It's like you're saying a business is a single game of poker. It's not. It's a career.
So "running good" doesn't really cut it except for the most ludicrously lucky people, of which, granted, Trump could be one of. But the probability is ludicrously low.
I probably agree. Lifetime business success across many fields is probably dynamic enough that ain't nobody who makes it runs good.
If we say "what does it take to become a billionaire?" or "what does it take to become the president?", those distributions are probably fat-tailed. But the situation we're dealing with is far more dynamic and complex than those questions.
