Now, in the real world no 2 players are of equal skill level. And, no one player plays perfectly every hand. Those factors tend, for some, to minimize the role of luck.
I can guarantee that the best players in the world would all admit that when they have won major tournaments, there certainly was a major element of luck involved.
Not of the supernatural ariety. There should be another name for what we're calling luck. It's just the odds.
