In a live game, some guys can take your luck factor to zero. They are called sharpers )))

I think you should just not call all ins unless you have a monster hand. Had this situations way to often so I think I know what I am talking about.... I mean i use this method for 1 month now and it really helps me out a lot.
Good Luck mate

I'm such a player myself. I don't use any programs. I know a little theory. Think about it, if everyone plays according to the rules of short bets, bankroll, Aha, here I increase by 3 times, and here I reset, what will happen to poker. Although in General, this is exactly what I am seeing now. The old poker game is dying now, like chess. What should I do with them? Wait until you have a good hand and build up the stake at their expense in MTT or bankroll in other types of poker.

Of course, it is impossible to completely eliminate the element of luck from poker, but it can be reduced by trivial discipline, excluding hyper and turbo tournaments from the tournament grid, good br and of course high-quality play

At first without bank roll strategy, i bust my bankroll in 1 months( win and lose). After learning a bit about poker and bankrolling. Slowly but sure my deposit money can last for 4 month. The rollercoaster is stop. But slowly but sure still losing money bit by bit. So still can’t too sure about making profit in poker.
But one tips that i still cannot follow is dont play in micro game. But isn’t thats whats the marketing? Dont play in micro so we should deposit more money to the game. And the big sharks will bite us again. Lol.

Lol just keep studying and playing. MMT poker imo is hardest form of poker. Just keep playing build your own ranges according to stack size, position, stages in tournament etc. There really is no way to factor out luck. I’ve final tabled tournaments where i never had AA, KK dealt to me, and ive been eliminated by going all in with AA and KK multiple times. It’s just the game.

You can always choose not to play at all..
.. That way you completely eliminated chance altogether !!
Literally the only way
Though in all seriousness, try not to think of it in terms of luck, but rather as variance. The decision is what matters, and yes sometimes it does not work out, but that's okay. If you start to play in a way that reduces variance you're leaving too much money on the table.
Some of comments in this thread suggest not calling all ins except with monster hands for example. Variance in MTTs is brutal, but if you're not willing to go for plays that are clearly +EV (considering ICM ofcourse) you'll never become a player who crushes the stakes they're playing in. You shouldn't be looking to reduce variance in your play. Rather, you should be asking yourself if you are properly rolled for the stakes you play if you care about this. Passing up a clear +$EV play because an opponent may get lucky doesn't make you smart, it makes you a nit tbh.
Rather, I'd advise to play around with some tournament variance calculators to get a good grasp of how big the swings can be and adjust your bankroll management plan accordingly. You won't be afraid of swings if you got a proper roll to back up your plays. Go get them mate

Reduce Luck factor?
Get in with pots with someone that folds their blinds a lot
Don’t be afraid of calling a bluff at the river if the story doesn’t make sense
OthersWise it’s luck.
Even AA preflop , there is a 30% of a suck out
So have you have to be mentally prepared when you are ahead and fall behind or lose at the river Going all in preflop

This happen mostly at the freerolls, where a massive number of players play just for fun, for gambling. The problem is not that only one player (gambler) has luck over you (for these 'opponents' have a short life in the game), is that many of them match their hand over you, if you insist in fall in temptation.
We cannot get rid of these games type, but play our 'A' game and wait for the later stages, where the most gamblers are out, is the best solution.
GOOD LUCK!
