Let me ask you this- do you think the top poker players (both famous players and online stars unknown to the public) would have been top at something else if they never sat down at a poker table? Was it "luck" that they found the one thing they were even capable of being world-class in? Or was it something inside them that compelled them to work toward mastery, and poker just happened to be the activity they focused this character trait on?

Sounds like it could go both ways. Whether the person's skill is the game they play or the ability to play a game (and I mean game in an extremely broad sense). I'm not going to venture at a more coherent answer, just wanted to say excellent question.
