you still need to get lucky.
I'm a bit of a poker noob with a decent knowledge of the game. I recall in the movie
Rounders that Matt Damon's character observed [paraphrasing]: "If it's about luck, why are the same few guys populating final tables at the main event each year?"
Are you simply saying you
need to get lucky to be on a run of the magnitude Fedor is on? Or are you saying something a little more extreme - like any top player could have made this run if they could have the same "luck" Fedor's been having. One other possibility is just simply that to win say the main event luck is simply required; you can't run purely on skill in poker. Thoughts?
From what I know of Fedor (from seeing his play at the 2015 main event), he doesn't always rely on even having a hand at all to dominate a table. I even recall Norman Chad curiously remarking that Fedor "may even be more comfortable when he doesn't have a good hand to work with," which may be exaggeration but it does contain some truth about Fedor's style of play.
I don't know, it's been a while since I've posted or visited the site and I realize this thread hasn't had much action in a while, but I thought I'd throw that into the pile. Wonder if I said anything decently viable...
