1) What is luck for you?

2) How do you experience luck in your life?

3) In what poker situation did you feel with your greatest luck?

Regards and GL!

Hello. I am more a Karma believer... Whatever goes whatever comes��

Hello.
Luck is undoubtedly important, but in my opinion, player skills are a more important factor. Personally, I rely more on my skills.

I agree Whatever goes around comes back around. Karma can be a tough thing to deal with.

Yeah man too tough let's say playing poker the way i finished players i got finished

no good luck charm. you can't control how the cards turn, but you can play with skill and do your best to make sure you have the best odds

I only believe in short term luck. In the long run skill wins out, so a good luck charm is not something I've ever had or considered.

The coin is very old 1800s. sometimes brings luck.

I believe that the luck of any player is directly influenced by his experience and skills. If players with no experience and skills are lucky to win, then I am convinced that this phenomenon is temporary and short-lived.

Having iQ level above 120 is the true luck. In the age of 90, when you'll look back at your life you will realise why.

Sadly, but statistics say that people with iQ level under 80 more probably will have Alzegeimer disease starting in the age of 70, ofc if they will live to 70 years.

High iQ level will tell you that you've been lucky to be born, to have a life, to be educated person, to have internet that gives you options for self education and gives you multiple options to become rich by providing a product or service that makes human society better, something like paying back that credit to the society that raised you and earning profit by investing your ideas to the world.

From such point of view - what product or useful service do you create for yourself and for the society in general, when you're playing poker? Is it a so called "good luck" if you've spent 200 hours at the poker table instead of spending 200 hours to learn some programming language and writing some program that will be giving you a stable and constant profit being sold in the App store or in the Play Market? What is better - to spend 20 years playing poker or to spend 6 years learning neuro surgery and becoming a surgeon who saves lifes and earns stable and high income per year unlike poker player?

Can we compare a poker table to 9 people sitting and riding a 2 wheel bicycle and playing pick-pocketing tournament during a ride? Each year only the "bicycle" seller has stable profit and blessed by good luck, cause he provides a service for sick people who need it. Do you understand who the bicycle seller is? And why all 9 players, as a community are always not having profit and only doing damage to themself, by not evolving the society and themselves.

So, being objective, how and why you put words "luck" and "poker" together? Any poker player is unlucky, it's a sick human, who is masturbating same 52 cards over and over again so that casino or poker site can have profit and that poker player can have a chance plus dose of serotonin - is this a sign of luck? LOL

You know where you can feel the real luck? Grab $200-300, go to the store, spend all money for chocolate bars, candy, and other types of sweets, load you car with sweets and go to the nearst orphanage, ask to see the kids when they're playing outside and ask ladies who work there to split sweets among the children. Be there and feel how lucky you are that you can help them, how lucky you've been than you've had your childhood, and how lucky you can be in the nearest future to help them again. This is the true luck, not your trashy gutshot turning to royal flush at the river.

I rely more and believe on the ability to play poker. Somehow luck does not add up to win.

Luck is merely coincidence followed by a favourable consequence. Our brain is a curious thing constantly looking for new information. When we win out of the blue, rather than just accept coincidence our brain will seek to make a metaphysical connection: the coin picked up from the floor, that thing you did differently that day., a talisman in a pocket that someone gave you.
Poker wins are through a series of chaotic events and calculations physical perception and perceived risk vs reward.
If one wants to win more
Play/ practice more
Memorise the basic math at various points play
Play different games you may find one that particularly suits you. It could be because of the speed or numerics of that particular game.
Luck/coincidence may occur between 10&30% of your game. But I wouldn't rely on it.
In a game born from chaos which progresses through numeracy and psychology to an end point. To then appropriate mysticism to an object/act seems absurd.
But, hey. If a talisman of any sort helps you so be it.
But, its not for me.
Wasn't it a professional golf player that said, " The more I practice. The luckier I get." ☺

luck is when you take first place in a tournament.

Consistently put yourself in +ev situations in poker and life, good things are going to happen.

My lucky dice. I like rolling it out on big hands. It makes all my decisions for me. Like if I roll One Then I bluff. 2 Then I raise. And so forth. Works well. Never Fails. I Always Win. Good Luck At The Tables.

I think it is very well said.

Honestly, I have not used concepts like poker luck for a long time.
But maybe I’m lucky in poker if I win a specific hand from below.

I liked this statement.
Well, of course, he puts himself above the rest with this statement. And I think that there are many players equal to him. And many players are better than him.

As long as my luck runs side ...

Gave up sugary cereals a longtime ago regardless if I'm playing poker. Even if they are magically delicious! Nope, nothing needed for luck.

I seem to run better when I have a headache, so I would say a headache is my lucky charm.

Luck is winning against unfavorable odds, at least on the poker table.

There are many tools available to maximize it but if you go AI and suck out, that's luck.

i dont really have a luckycharm, but i do need to feel good and when im not energetic enough i see it in the way i play.

I have an Atlanta Falcons fidget spinner... it has done me well!

In my opinion happiness is life satisfaction. Happiness is a dream come true. Every moment bringing joy is a happy moment. If a man is safe, healthy, loved, needed by others - he feels happy. In poker, luck is rare, I never play with cards 2.7 3.6 4.8 4.10 if I played and won, it would be luck, with other cards this is a good game

Mostly in poker I’m not lucky, I very often lose with a pocket pair AA and even when I’m a favorite and go allin on the last card, the opponent wins.

Recall about luck only when my hands monsters beats outright garbage inadequate opponents. In this moment I understand that luck there is and she clearly not with me

Luck helps but skills and experience will determine your success rate.

I don't have amulets to play poker but I would like something to give me a little luck because only with good cards you don't win

No I do not, if I depended on luck I would loose more then I loose now. Never been a big believer in luck. Although once in a while it does not hurt.

All right, in poker game no good luck charm. you can't control how the cards turn, but you can play with skill and do your best to make sure you have the best odds!

Skills with bad luck doesn`t work

My good luck charm is calculations. When you’re in a logically stable state of play, luck will come to you.

Skills with bad luck can be covered over time with risk management. When you have layers of strategy surrounding your bankroll?...Boom!....You’ve created your own luck! Your welcome.

1) for me luck is when we have few probabilities, but we win.
2) just who enjoys the lucky is that one being in "the pot". I am very conservative, in my poker and in my life to be considered a lucky person.
3)when I am nuts hearing "all in".

I have no luck, neither in life nor in poker, and how to deal with it I do not know, I have a feeling that I was born on a Monday

Truthfully I have none, I do not know if you believe in luck rather for my things happening in poker have nothing to do with luck, it is not think there luck in any way.

In poker, it's all about percentages and odds. If you rely on good luck charms when you are playing poker, you will probably lose. Poker is a game of skills. Poker isn't bingo. A lucky person can beat Phil Ivey at bingo, but can that lucky person beat Phil Ivey at poker?

I have discovered that I have no luck in poker, so I must play extra tight, and win without any luck.

I believe you make your own luck.

You think positively and make the right decisions, luck will come your way.

Conversely if you think it is rigged or that you have bad luck and make wrong decision or keep putting yourself in tough spots, bad things will happen to you.

Luck for me in poker is win a bad beat and karma also like other opinions.
In life also, I did many things when I'm young, but now I take the prize of it. Think positive and help other people when you can.

I have tried a bunch of different things, but none seem to work very much lol. Might have to steal some the suggestions ITT to try out in the future .

The lucky rabbits foot has never quite worked for me !

Hello
Never relied on luck. But it’s good when luck is in your life. I believe in any business, you must rely on your knowledge and skills. Good luck helps several times, and knowledge is always with you.

No I don't keep any good luck charms while playing online poker. However I do keep a few quarters on my desk which represents the min cash for the freerolls that I play.

It puts in perspective what I'm playing for which helps to prevent me from tilting too much whenever I get bad beat!!

Sitting down to play poker and relying only on luck is ridiculous !!! Only your own skills will help you become a winner !!! The situation in life is the same - never rely only on luck !!!

I build my own gods out of clay and put them in front of the computer while playing. As long as the luck is with me, I bow before them. When the luck goes against me I banish them to the hidden zone, where they will never see the light again. I then build new gods

Luck for me is my special cup, full of coffee

i find luck is with me on 50-50 days, when i feel it i go for it,

Yes. I keep a crystal and a stone I got from a Japanese restaurant in my pockets when I play live. Sometimes when I'm playing on line. It may not work all the time, but I just feels better to have them there.

Luck has nothing to do with poker. Over a long distance, your skill, tilt resistance and patience decide everything
