Luck plays no part in poker

You should read Poker Essays Volume II where Mason actually says it's better to be lucky than good. Of course then he goes on to say you can't control being lucky so you have to be good, but regardless in a game with a SD frequently around 16 BB/100 and winrates of < 4 BB / 100, luck is very very important in the short term.
