Default aggrevation

I know poker is a skill game, but i've been playing on pokerstars now for a while, and it just doesn't seem like much skill is involved. It seems in sng's...players just push with 2 cards and hope for the best. Seems the majority of the time if u have them dominated, they find a way to hit. If they're short stacked and have live cards, you don't even have to watch the rest. The worst will happen. So how much is actually skill vs luck in these things?

That's not true. If you have AK and they have AQ, they only win 20-30% of the time.

Sounds like someone has had one bad beat too many.

Hey that's poker. Accept it or quit.

the skill in SNG is knowing when to push 2 cards and hope for the best.

Some really good players (read not me) work their butts off to study and improve their games. They play hard focused poker all the time.

And they lose about 60% of the games they play....

...doesn't that sound like fun.
