Should we try to reduce luck element in poker?

Luck is everywhere. Even when you're crossing a street you need some luck. Anyway, if you're in the 95% of unlucky people, you just have to deal with it the best way possible and try a tousand times to hit one.

So basically by removing luck you just want to play high card? How would you then remove luck in the card distribution?

Either way - no luck factor and nobody would ever play poker.

did you read anything more than the title? i guess not. otherwise you wouldnt be asking of how to eliminate luck from card dealing. i talked about a specific model. when you check that out feel free to comment on that

Luck is basic in poker. It is not the most important. Psycology and maths are more important, so these two can eliminate in a very big percentage the `luck`!

Lucky moments on the table still scare me.. Im ussualy in position that unlucky man..

I guess, for me, chance has always been the enemy. Amassing chips without showing down a hand, to me, is a way of limiting chance, and to me demonstrates a talented player. One that can be intune with dynamics enough to know how to pick up pots uncontested is a skillful player in my book, moreso than one that just gets it in, and prays to hold up, or get lucky

Ding, ding ding... This ++

Showdowns are a math problem. Taking a pot is 100% profit. We are not here to gamble. (Although we do each time we touch our chips.)

Funny you posted this actually, I had an almost identical idea but instead of the pot being split according to percentage, the guy that is ahead gets all the chips. I like your idea more.

In reality it would drive all the fish away from the game, but it would be really nice to have as an additional format. I would definitely have a shot at playing it.

No the lucky is part of the game we can't eliminate it , I know that sometimes we loose by another lucky player with a stupid cards but sometimes we win , the lucky will always be part of the game

lol... you are probably the one person that got to read my idea.. i see people here commenting "luck is a big factor of the game" and "you cant eliminate luck in poker for that and that reason". they really arent contributing anything to the forum. it really seems to me that they just spam their way to higher posting history because their posts really arent posts of a person with a 3-digit IQ.

Meh I've been posting on forums for the good part of 8 years now, I have 14k posts on another gaming site. You get used to it after a while and learn to not care. Essentially people are entitled to their opinions and learning to accept that helps deal with people you consider to be trolling.

But yeah I think your idea is good and while it certainly shouldn't be the mainstream form of poker, it certainly has a place as a side game on main poker sites IMO

Always play with the skill will bring very good results in the medium or long run than luck.

Just count how many times you have lost a good pot with AA holding cards. I get around 50% chances of winning every time i have pocket Aces.And im not talkin bout heads up.So yeah luck plays a huge factor on poker.

I think the most important in poker it's a skill. An element of luck in poker is minimal.

Play more hands and isolate more so you aren't facing multiple opponents.
