This Seneca quote is used often in the poker community, even though it is so completely out of context.
Seneca was a stoic philosopher and even if poker existed during Seneca's time (which it did not), it still wouldn't have been addressed in the quote because poker is a frivolous game that stands against the very backbone of the stoic philosophical concept.
So if you embrace Seneca's philosophy, you should not play poker at all, period, as it is a complete waste of your life from the stoic perspective.
Another roman philosopher who lived just before Seneca's time and wasn't a stoic, Cicero, has a quote that applies to luck in the general sense and which applies to poker as well, and that is "Fortuna Caeca Est", in translation "Luck is blind".

odds of you winning of course were not in your favor.
Only two cards for you to win and you hit one, bad luck for him. I think you both played it wrong and you got lucky. But still any winning hand is luck, getting AA in the BB and flopping trips is luck. Losing with that same hand is still luck, just the wrong way. His position is an easy fold, but he raised.
That's poker. lol

It's predictable. I know lots of guys like to defend the blinds no matter what, but 97o out of position against a 5X pre-flop raise is looking for trouble. A 7-hi flush is just barely a flush and not worthy of a huge bet on the river. Did I mention - out of position?
Just saying.
Just saying.

Luck?
well luck does always play a factor in playing poker, but online poker is a joke,
because every single board will either pair, flush draw, or str8 draw
not to mention the worse hand pre-flop wins 70 to 80% of the time.
pocket ACE's loose more than 70% of the time, and every single online poker tournament hits 4 of a kind 3 or 4 times.
it's total bull chit.
and not to mention most online casino's have, or run sweat shops. but good luck telling one of these liberals on here about that. they believe that they are so good, or believe it's all legit, because they have very low IQ's.
if you have ever played any live casino tournaments you would or should know how rigged online poker truly is.

An interesting distribution. If a man makes a 3 bet at first hand and then on this flop checks the more likely he had a flush draw with a hand like A10 Kj Kq Ak Qj Aq AJ. And he wants the most calm and little to pay for the next street. But can call a raise or re-raise all in to answer a big raise. Both players have played as much as possible correctly. But someone had better luck.

The truth that was partly luck and partly the way in which your opponent played his cards, also normally when someone leans low and suddenly goes all in, the player instinct is activated and you tell yourself something is brought between hands, but well, that's poker haha

Mostly luck and some skill.
The skill comes in knowing when to be conservative and when to be aggressive. But ultimately u need to get lucky to go deep or win.
Even winning 5 all ins with AA requires some luck. 1) u need to get them when villains give u action and 2) they hold up everytime.

According to probability theory, a very small percentage of such a river! This is just luck!

If you had a hand like an opponent, I don't think you would have made fold.
