Skill beats luck, that's a fact! Today I played Spins and there were a lot of gamblers who just shoved Olin on everything. But most of all I remember this gentleman! But still, I pushed him. Happy autumn to everyone and good luck at the poker tables in autumn!

backs are still luck, maybe someone is counting on skill there, but it seems to me that there is a big factor of luck

It can drive up bonkers when these played to hit but it feels so good when you take him down. Love how you played them.

Of course you can trick your oponent with skills,but you have to consider odds (luck) to perform the best you can

In the long run, skill will always beat luck. Short term some times luck wins

to be fair, I don't think either of you played it badly.

you had aa and set the trap, which worked out perfectly. your opponent had 27 and got a free flop in the bb. opponent flopped top pair on a draw heavy board. top pair is going to be good a lot of the time in this spot and probably figured jamming is the best decision instead of giving you a price to call and see the turn. a lot of turn cards they don't want to see.

do you call this jam with ak, qj, 10j, a5, etc?

That's right, in the long run skill will always win out over luck, but for this to happen we have to work hard on our game to always be competent and always be one step ahead of our rivals.

I think in the long run yes, skill beats luck. Luck only wins when it's a flip. hahahaha.

Yes, luck decides in spins, of course, but still skill wins in the long run, you just need to be able to wait in spins and have patience then you will win, but still, the game is too fast and sometimes you don't have time to play good cards so it's best to play tournaments
