First time 1st in NPL

Alright, now its my turn to boast about my poker achievement...

Just won 1st at a NPL poker tournament. But of course that's mainly due to two good reasons:
1. There were only 10 other players competing with me.
2. I had really good luck tonight.

Here's a picture of me with my first NPL Trophy (just nice to replace the one that Lucas broke the other time):


So clearly, poker to me is a lot about luck. Though many may not agree with me, but I am definitely not a reckless nor aggressive player who would keep raising preflop or betting hard when the cards did not hit. There are many theories when come to the technique of playing good poker, but who dares to say that poker is 100% about skill and 0% about luck?? No one player on a poker table will be able to last without lady luck smiling on him/her. But of course, there are skills involved too.

In terms of skill, I am not as skillful as Nic or other of our poker friends, but I must say that I can be lucky and win at times too.. lolx!!
