What is more important, LUCK or strategy in getting a high score.  I think it is luck.  If you do not have a Royal or high four  of a kinds dealt you will not get a high score.

On this site it is neither. It is how good your cheat program is that you are running while playing one of the contest games.

When the same names are at the top of the leader board with dealt aces with a kicker or a rf, it is difficult to buy that it is all luck.   Isn't there some way for the site to tell when cheating software is being used?

Strategy is important because it keeps you in the game longer, but luck is way more important.  Who's the better player; Bob Dancer playing a 101% Jacks or Better game for 40,000 hands and hitting a Royal on 40,001 hand or a complete rookie hitting two royals in one afternoon?  The difference is Mr. Dancer will probably have more money at the end of the year, unless he's unlucky... 

How much strategy does it take to hold a dealt premium hand Phil? With all the talk about this demon RNG I can not see how luck has anything to do with it.

I'm confused??  Luck has everything to do with being dealt a premium hand....  

Absolutely Lucky.

If it is all about luck there are some people on this site that need to live at the casino they get dealt premium hands whenever they feel the need. Or maybe it is a little bit more than luck. I typed into my search engine online video poker cheat programs there was more than a million hits.

I also went to my local Best Buy there were several cheat programs there to choose from. One win on this site would cover the cost of the program. It may be all about luck at the casino but on this site I just do not think luck has a thing to do about winning here for some people.

I will have to start playing the contests on this site. I have no luck in the casino anyway and it will be a lot cheaper too. Will have to see how it goes and see if I get a feel for what you are talking about Edog.
