Well I think MTTs are the games where luck is more needed to take 1st place...
I looked at my stats in MTTs I did well lately, and each and every time, I caught a lot more AA KK QQ JJ and AK I should have. (I may had included 10 10 in that, dont remember)
On the other side, I finished 3rd in a SNG once without playing a sigle hand!!!! no kidding...
My PC went down before the STT starts, and I havent been able to log back before the end. And surprise!!! Took 3rd place!
Proves nothing, but tought it was funny...
Edit: BTW, I think luck is involve in MTTs, but just short term... best players win more at the end!
