Amen?
Yup.
I've played at a table where there's been hot players who just could not lose. The cards just fell their way all night, and no matter how skillfully the opposition played a hand, the hot hand always manages to trump a win. It feels great when you're the hot hand...not so great when you're on the other side.
That's the one thing about cards: Over the LONG haul, skill beats luck, because eventually the luck peters out. But man....some days it just pays to be sitting in the right chair.
