I had never liked to gamble, I just beginning to play poker because I discover I could have an edge over other players through math. So I believe when I play a game where my main goal is to earn money then I play a game that I know will make me lose money, it can be a signal of adictment, a bad mindset.

What about a lucky day!!

Every poker player ask for the secret of some lucky days, were in the same evening we keep win monsters hands after hands, after...
In an opposed way, some evening we keep playing for hours without any action or we flopped playable hands with disappointment results.

A 100% that poker could be a profitable game, to the person who could discover the secret. :idea:

I think that at the same time we must be lucky and also wisdom because we must have the management strategy , Skill, skill, aptitude, ability… Call it as you want, but keep in mind. Sorry, but if yesterday missed a game of paddle tennis, it is not because you had luck. Something similar - and we say similar- occurs in poker. If you are good, or at least the best of the Bureau, it is most likely that you win. We say likely because in poker luck plays a crucial factor.

Luck ia not a limited comodity, that will run out in the long term. Luck will last as long as you wish to play, however knowing the game is very useful

Hi there, i believe 70 per cent is luck and the other 30 is skill.Making a bluff is not luck if you make opponent believe you are winning is skill.Good luck.

As Ma said, "You make your own luck." I believe knowing how people are playing stands for a lot. But I always try a few games to see how "my luck" is for that day.

I think that in poker without luck, no where, you can play with any card if you have luck

In poker, exclusively in poker, be lucky to have a good brain, and you will be lucky at the tables.

PS: but luck will always continue to have greater weight to define the champion of the tournament. :icon_sant

I truly believe that brain is the key to avoid the worst escenary from variance (luck).
Sometimes I want to crush my device when the river shows me a nightmare....but the true is that can be prevented.
Luck is indeed very important on long tournaments... But when the luck is not on your side you allways got your brain.

Better to be lucky at poker than a master.

Almost all poker players have knowledge and skills. Especially professionals. Who wins? The one with more luck wins. Here is the answer to the question. Luck never loses.

Well, from my point of view, luck is surely very important. But poker is not entirely about luck, here's my experience: I wasn't playing poker for a while because I'm a student and the university is really difficult and I don't have enough time for this and when I came back, I noticed that I started finishing tournaments earlier than before and that I stopped getting cashed like earlier and this is when I realized that you need to always practice and it's not 100% luck...

Luck vs Brain

I will take brain over skill all day, no fishing involved and you will win every time. If some one goes all in pre flop you are depending on luck . If it is reasoable as in a minimum bet then call other then that just fold. The fish will always run out of air, Capo1014

I could say that it is 50 to 50 but it is not always like that, luck has more factor to put bad hands with those ways of playing
