Sheesh.
Hold'em is for no talent, no skill hacks. Check that, there is some skill involved reading probabilities, but for the most part, you have to get really lucky and pull your ass off at some highly improbable moment to win in those tournaments.

Real poker is a much more intricate game than Hold em.
