  well, you win some, you lose a lot usually

  in poker, there is a lot of skill involved...
  
  poker face, when to hold, when to bluff, when not to bluff, when to fold, when to play tricks and bet too much to throw off your adversary, reading your opponents...
  
  all that..

  It is mostly skill and experience, and a little luck.
  
  Please pay close attention to his profession, day trader.
  
  He is already seasoned.

  luck is obviously more important than skill.
  
  he is a new player but finished 2nd, beating many top professionals along the way.
  
  without luck dealing you a good hand, skill mean nothing.
