That's a good point about the cash game format.
But tournament format often forces players into multiple all-ins over the course of the tournament. This leads to a much more luck based outcome.
- confidantlake 4y agoBut over the long run it is still about skill, just the variance is much higher. Any single tournament the result will be dominated by luck but over 10s or 100,000s of thousands skill will dominate. Even the all in situations, you need to know when to go all in and when to call an all in vs when to fold. Better players are going to have a much better handle on this.
