On my mind luck is the event you need, but which does not depend only from you and have odds to happen less 30%.

 

[maxivega]

Hopefully, it is going against the odds and win. Only serve you for a few hands, not to be a good player

Luck is what you need when you can't afford bad decisions.

At least you need head, some brains and one hand to deal:icon_joke

I have quite a long history with slots though. 1 thing about these machines is;

Never rush into playing a losing machine. If you saw someone losing alot on one machine and left, don't think you will win if you chase it. Probability of you losing more is very high.
Vice verse, if you saw someone won and left, quickly sit and chase it. Chances of another jackpot is very high.

Simply logic tell me vice versa. But in online no work no one:nurse:

I think luck in poker is a delusion. To often win poker, the need to constantly improve their gaming skills. At long distances, poker is a skill. But if there was no luck factor, then poker would not have become a popular game.

It is true that a little luck in poker can make the difference between being a great success and be someone who never reaches. However, that does not mean we should trust that luck will bring in money.
Maybe you've seen those guys who carry objects of "luck" or protectors of letters in all live tournaments. While luck there, so that some people will spend your whole life losing and gaining other, it is not correct to attribute "luck" as a property of a particular object. Sort of like a mystical quality that continues to favor certain people or objects is a myth in poker.
Instead of waiting to get lucky, we want to do everything in our power to improve your skill in poker. Besides helping to get a realistic idea of ​​what to expect in terms of chance. Most people underestimate the effect of high variation in poker. It is common for poker players brag after winning a sample size of some simple hundreds of hands. This shows that they do not fully understand the results of a small sample size are far less a fruit of skill and more a lucky fruit in poker.

You can't pretend to win in poker depending on your good luck ...! In poker luck does not exist ... it is demonstrated through ODDS calculations the percentage that a certain hand has to win ... Now when you win a hand like pj. JJ against AA ... and on the flop another J appears and you have won that spot ... that is called variance. I will also tell you that the determination to play a certain hand is yours ... it will be your analyst who will tell you whether or not to play that hand, therefore there is no luck ... winning or losing in poker .. Always depend on your decisions in your calculations, your skills and your reading of your opponents ... and that is no luck ...!

luck is what happens when the experience meets the opportunity. in the short term without it we can survive and reach ITM places but surely not win a tournament. However, in the long run, if you want to have a chance to become a true winning player, we will have to forget all that. You have cards, you have to play them. And this in the most efficient way possible. on a part luck is probably responsible for 90% of the results. Over a month, it goes to 10 or 15% and over a whole year is something between 2 and 5%.

The more I play poker, the less I hope for luck and more for cold-blooded calculation. And statistics show that I'm on the right way)

 

[COMIRRR]

We say good luck when a good hand comes to us and we win, if we do not enter and lose we say bad luck .. and finally it is ... the server!

 

[freestocks]

I am so lucky to read this. There must be a true definition of luck in poker. "It was his lucky day." " Oooo I got lucky."

 

[mtmigmike]

luck when you win 10 out of 10 hands

 

[MattRyder]

For me - it's a lucky day when my higher AX beats a lower AX. That is very hard for me to achieve so it's always cause for celebration.

Luck is a neutral force that I'd say favors no one in the long run. That's because it all comes down to probabilities to be more specific. The rules behind probabilities favor everyone and yet no one. Meaning every dog has his day and everyone will have good runs and bad runs. It's just apart of the game and is what makes the game we play so thrilling.

Luck in poker. Well, it boils down to this fact-- not all hands in poker are made equal. What do I mean?

It is true that over large enough sample it is one's skill at the game that determines results of hands played, rather then anything else.

But it is one thing to have a coin flip all in for example in a CC MTT NLHE freeroll 6 minutes in vs a stack that already took a beating so is 1/3 of yours, then a coin flip all in 8 players remaining 20k guarantee that would make you an overwhelming chip leader that could just cruise to a multi k prize.

Yeah, you win one you lose the other statistically its all correct. But in which scenario does your hand hold and in which it doesn't makes a world of difference for your bankroll and ability to play.

There are games and hands that can be considered defining for your long term poker experience. Having those 50-50 hold there, rather in a random low importance situations-- is the factor of luck in this game.
