Really look has nothing much to do with the game at all
Those who know nothing about poker almost always say that poker is just gambling and nothing else. There is definitely a lot of skill involved in poker and the better player you are, obviously the more likely you are to make money on a consistent basis. On the flip side, i also believe there is an enormous amount of luck involved in poker. Maybe i just have terrible luck lately but even when i play optimal poker i sometimes run into some ridiculous run bad. For example, i have AA.... I raise pre anywhere between 4-7x the bb... This depends on how the particular table is playing. I get called by AK or whatever and they flop Q,J,10,blank, blank... That would just be bad luck. Or even worse, some super donk calls with Q7 or whatever and flops 2 pair and i dont improve, thats just very bad luck. This has happened to me more times than i believe should have happened. So my point is i guess there will be times in poker when all the skill in the world will mean absolutely nothing if you just have terrible luck.[/QUOTES
If you're going to play one Friday night okay luck has everything to do with it but when a poker player sits down at the table he isn't sitting down at the table for that one night one night out of thousands of nights poker has nothing to do with that....
After the you put in tons of volume deviation from odds gets extremely thin if it didn't casinos would go bust.
