Your action will be decisive.

What does luck mean? Imagine you have AA and lose to 72s. We have two different lucks, one starting with AA and the other with 72 to beat AA.

So what reason drove 72 into the game? "Your Action"

I couldn't say that both, from my point of view, could be 80% good decisions and 20% luck, because if they were both at 50% then half the time I could win just by relying on luck and in poker it's not like that.

First you make the right decision, and then it all depends on luck.

in poker it all depends on the specific situation, for example, in a satellite, sometimes AA can be passed

In general, poker is the sum of good decisions, because if you always go all in in all the hands you play, you are trying at random (luck) and you are making bad decisions.

Even if you are a professional, luck is very important.

If AI can beat you in it, it's less of luck, tournaments can be tougher though with stakes increasing rapidly and having a bunch of persistent all-inners

Anyone who says luck isn't part of poker is lying a lot. Of course, being lucky enough to win all of one or two players' chips at the start of the tournament with a bad hand can greatly increase your chance of winning more money, but it's worth remembering that the blinds go up, and it depends. of having the same luck in every round he gets involved, he won't bring any profit. You can win once, twice, three times in a row, but as soon as you lose you will be out, and in the long term as well as in the short term, that doesn't bring profit. The only thing he can do is leave the little friend he lost to his luck, deeply tilted :mad::mad::mad::mad:. I lose my mind.

The main question is which strategy wins over the distance.Badbits and downstrokes happen to good players, and you can be the undisputed favorite on the turn and the loser on the river, all while playing the exact right thing. So the main thing is who wins after a few thousand tournaments played. For that, you have to make good, correct decisions.

i think both , but if i consider better is like 65% good decisions and 35% luck if is before turn and river , if is on showdown it is only your decision if opponent has it or he is trying to bluff you :)

well, of course, a good solution - you try to apply them throughout the game, but a couple of bad luck crosses everything out !!! (((

If you won, then the decision was correct. Such players almost always play aggressively. But it doesn't work out in every tournament. This is a style of play, not luck. This is my opinion.

A mix of the two. Luck always comes when you have competence... luck is just one more spice.

Everything in life needs luck, sometimes we go through ups and downs and sometimes we are surprised. The truth is that good chances are rare, and bad ones happen all the time, that's why, we are always in competition with other people and beings in the universe.
