Well,I have heard many times of that. It won't work for me.If you mean bad beats,then these are usually related to the "dark side" of the program when we talk for online poker(bad act is relevant)...

I don't believe on luck, I think the principal ingredient on poker is to understand the possibilities on each hand, and also there is another fact that is coincidences, sometimes those coincidences are on our side, sometimes don't.

Doesn't matter what you believe...only what is true.

Luck plays a major role in Poker. You only have two ways of winning.
You hit your hand (luck) and have the nuts... or you force your opponent off of his/her hand (skill).

Poker is a very simple game to play, but if you aspire to be actually good at it, then it is complicated.
