Yes, I believe in failure this happens often, and when I see that the game does not go either in tournaments or in cash games I take a break so as not to lose the entire bankroll!

I don't believe. I think that "bad luck" are my own mistakes.
Sad but true :/

I believe as much in bad streaks as I do in good ones.

I am not supersticious, I do not believe in lucky things. I think that poker can be faced like a mathematical sequence. Anyway luck is the absence of knowledge, but it is very very dificult to know everything in these cases. You can learn and learn, from your experiences!

its got to be something

Some times I think some of the players in some sit and goes actually work for the site. its like I'll win a few tourneys in a row then loos the next. when I loos its crazy because 95 percent of the time I bluff I get called and every time I get a monster hand nobody will call me even when I check it all the way dwn

I dont believe in good luck streaks, although they sometimes happen of course, but that is out of pure probability that they shall happen once in a while.

But I do believe in BAD luck streaks that, once started, will persist at least till the end of the day if not longer. Its not that I BELIEVE to those, rather, it is my observation that such days hit me and more often than I would like, where I suffer bad beats with 18%, 11% and alike probability to lose, and I still lose far more than if it actually took place 18%, 11% of a time

First of all let's understand what is this Luck in poker? For me, luck in online poker this is tangible thing. These are digits. In the parlance of math, we have dealing with theory of chances. It is clear!
For Live poker Luck is something another than just digits. It may be read as mistakes of your opponets, your good mood in front of bad one in your opponent, some tells of your opponents which you can manage to use for its own benefit etc.....
The most important things is your skill with the six sense....

Bad luck in poker or any game in my view is relative. But in the long run the best choices overlap the bad choices. In the final straight lines a little luck is needed to nail a tournament i think.

Poker is math and a little luck. And after a large amount of time will win. So they say. But maybe it's all a lie?

i think maybe being on tilt or playing poorly with a bad strategy is the problem rather than bad luck..

Bad luck streaks or series exist in poker as in other forms of gambling (sports betting, blackjack, roulette etc.). It is part of the game, where risk is involved

It all depends on your mood if you are angry, of course you will play badly, but if you're in the mood for sure you will feel comfortable and will play better, and I do not believe in bad luck.

Do not necessarily believe in bad luck streak. It's enough just to play a couple of months without getting a cent of the revenue from the game. Not collecting flushes, straights, sets to their pocket cards. Losing with the nuts on the river. Perhaps I urgently need a mascot.

If you believe in bad luck then there must also be good luck. I am currently in a tournament and it's as if I can't lose. I've never had such a good run of luck, it makes a change after the day I've just had

Once I was in a hurry to leave and tried to bust my stack in a $3k freeroll - going all in every single hand - won 14 in a row. So yeah I understand your tournament immortality :D

i believe there's no such thing as bad luck streak cause you play cards as per your choice.. so lets say if you got a full house,you might wanna question why the other is still betting so much?? does he have a better hand than yours?? is he the kind of player who would bluff you at a critical time?? if you think critically about it.. you might save some money while you're at it
