Sure theres luck with individual hands and draws involved. What I find matters more is how good the player is at managing that luck and optimizing the win percentage by making good moves and using smart tactics.

I've seen extremely unlucky hands checkout first (first to 500), and inversely, I've also seen one extremely lucky hand get screwed because they didn't know when to time their strategic non number cards right.

Optimizing your cards matters more than luck if you ask me.
