If you're lucky you can with the WSOP and become a huge celebrity. That appeals to me for some reason.

I'd take brilliant since you are guaranteed success since it is a skill game

No one's guaranteed success in poker. Don't kid yourself.

Let me put it this way. I've never seen anyone win a tournament without luck... but without skill, it's been done.

I mean... obviously, I'd rather have both than either, but if I had to choose, I'd take the luck.

By the way, an event only has one final table. No one's brilliant enough to make 3 final tables in one event.

No amount of skill can ever overcome really good luck.

You need to define how long this luck will last too??

Hmm maybe thats skill then asking how long my +EV scenarios will last......

I'd rather have consistant luck than brilliant skill...luck bets skill in poker time after time....example:

I just busted out of a tourney in 11th, (i.e. the worst possible place, no money, but 90 minutes of work)...

I had AJ middle position, made a small raise, got reraised, and BB reraised again...I fold as AJ is probably no good with two reraises...BB and other player go all-in one flips over AK, the other QQ...board comes down AJx...and another J on the river...if i was stupid i could have trusted luck and trippled up.

About 10 hands later i get AK, raise, get reraised...call, flop comes Axx, i go all in, other guy calls and flips over AJ, river is J...and i lose...
