How important is luck?

[Kenzie 96]

As one gains in skill & knowledge the less luck effects ones results. True in poker, true in life it's ownself.

 

[CTPA3]

luck is the most important component of poker. No matter what kind of super pro you are, but if there is no luck, you will be run over by 23 on the river))

 

[osa30]

no and I will not)

 

[danoscar]

Without luck, there would be no poker.

 

[Carlloss]

I would like to say that luck is only important in pre-flop all-in when you encounter a coin flip. But this is wrong to say, even the best professionals still depend on luck, of course with talent and discipline you will make fewer mistakes, depend less on luck and you will make more money and win more often. However, it is very unlikely that you will reach the top position in a big tournament without having to rely on luck at least a few times. That all-in check raise of yours that got called by a weaker hand that hits your 2 outs on the river, that your shove on a flop full of draws that doesn't hit anything on the turn or river and loses to your second pair. opponent had, even if only with the requests you had a better chance.
Yes, in poker, as good as you are, you're still going to need luck.

 

[bigthereal]

you need luck very much, even with the killing river

 

[tenk27]

Luck is as important as the moment before the flop you can be the strongest but if something falls in favor of the opponent there is no salvation
Happiness is important

 

[Anahita]

Very important like gasoline for car, water for plants, salt for food, pen for writing, cards for play poker and cardchat to get freeroll

 

[AllOut]

There's decent luck factor in poker which is way more than most people think it is. No matter how much you know the game or study latest strategies, luck will decide your future in the table probably 3 out of 5 times. If it's not your day, you might get busted sooner with couple of monster hands and you can't do anything to avoid it at all.

Quite a lot since there are too many liars in poker who play you with high cards and are always increasing their bet, if you keep a low pair they could draw a high pair and therefore you lose, it is complicated but it is quite luck and know when and where to stop playing.

Luck Matters in Poker Without Luck You Won't Win

 

[Snake2007]

Luck is very important, without luck you can't earn as much science as you have.

 

[Zed1b]

Probability rather than luck.

I try to think in terms of probability rather than luck. You have as much chance being dealt AK as 72. I think luck plays more to our human emotions and how we deal with good and bad situations. Before the river card if you are 96% favourite the villain still has 4% of hitting their outs. When they hit it’s not bad luck it’s probability and will happen on average 4% of the time.

 

[beatlebug]

Luck is important as you need to get good cards in order to have a good hand. This helps us win more games than lose. Good luck to all that like to play.

Without it you are doomed

 

[Spheremaster]

Hi all, I think its very important especially - the river...

have a nice day

 

[1glmx2vs]

When you are playing against a player or a couple of them who obviously want either to win big or loose quickly, you might need some if they are persistent with huge bets (in tournaments)

 

[nimburkx]

Luck is crucial but you can be more closer to luck with better hands!

 

[schtiuky]

luck its part of every game! you need it in some form or measure to get the first place in any competition.

 

[Justashot]

This is definitely a game of luck, but there is skill involved for sure. I personally try to minimize the luck factor as much as I can.

 

[learningnewf]

More than skill for sure, great question sir!
