I think when u can make it into the money consistently then u have skillz...I don't think it has to be first place or final table. The more money placement u have the more chances u have to make it to the final table. When u make it to the money placement then u have skills. I think when u make it to the final table u had skills + luck. you need skills plus luck to make it to the top money. The reason is because when u made it to the money placement there are often times you will be the one that's short stacked. This means that you really cannot play the flop you will most likely push all in with cards and hope your luck will prevail. If you did get a good lead early on that means you had a good run of luck.
