their are players who i respect, their are players whom i am apprehensive about, and others who i believe will never make a final table, because they just do not grasp the concepts of the game. on occasion, you will see one of these donks on a final table, usually the explanation is thus..... he had aces 8 times, he went all in on a gut shot and hit, fuck me he got lucky. they need a lot of help, where as, you see the usual suspects at the final, and you just know how they did it.
i saw the final of the world series, and how the guy who finished second ever got, i have no idea. reminds me of the classic luck donk. living the dream, but thats poker, otherwise we would not keep the numbers up
fair point on lucky finalists,but i'll tell you something i'd love to be that 2nd place finisher in wsop main event,i'd enjoy it just as much if i played the best poker ever or card racked and lucked my way to it.it would be hell of a ride either way and hell of a prize to win.you need bucketfulls of good luck in that event these days,skill alone won't win it?even ivey must have ran good at some point?
