You start off with an equal math equation that is unproven and also cancels itself out. So really, why no state that if you take luck out of the picture, skill is the main factor and everyone is lucky and it evens out.
So luck doesn’t contribute to any long term variable and the most skilled players have an advantage. Essentially luck contributes zero percent to the over all statically players success and skill is the deciding factor?
Yeah!In poker, we should not confuse 'probability' with 'luck'. If you are hoping to win the pot on the river by drawing one of the 15 cards that will make you a winner, and you miss - you did not get unlucky, you missed the probability.
Players who are hoping and need to get lucky are those who have invested too much in the hand relative to the probability of drawing their card(s).
i lose so many times to preflop shoves with AA and KK to mediocre hands
In the short run there is a lot of luck involved, but to win in the long run takes skill.
No one would be in there playing badly if they couldn't get saved by the deck, but keep playing badly and they will lose eventually.
If everyone played a few hundred thousand hands a year they'd realize having the best hand is no guarantee and that everyone wins and loses their fair share of flips and coolers.
Unfortunately the loudest voices are usually those who played a couple hundred hands, became frustrated with losing, and searched for nefarious reasons to explain the horrible injustice (rigged, bots, cheaters).
Good luck!
