Luck exists, but in the long term, only regular players made money.

It's not that I believe, I know that luck is a necessary element for a good result. Skills and experience are also important, but without luck it is very difficult to achieve a good result.

I have often noticed that at the beginning of the tournament certain players are very successful at the tables and they become chip leaders. But closer to the pre-final table they evaporate. Luck is an important thing, but in the long run skill decides.

Luck is part of the game, but bad beats are not fun.

For me, poker has nothing to do with luck, but rather with a lot of practice and study.

Lately I think you have to trust your game and what you know, it has happened to me that I have had a long bad streak and then I get a hand, let's put a pair of 10 and I don't pay and with that hand maybe I would enter a final table all because I lost 3 times with a pair of 10, suppose, this is my way of seeing it, there is no poker player who wins tournaments every day and always reaches the final table, it is logical to think that you can lose 30 or 50 70 and you reach cashouts a couple of times recovering the initial investment but at some point you win crowns at the final table and win that value x 100 200 300 or more

Maybe I think I'm one of the most unlucky types, I know people who have an aura, they are God's chosen ones, they seem touched by the rod.

Of course, luck is a super important part of the game, that why any rookie can beat a pro.

The unpredictability of the cards and the development of events can lead to unexpected results, where even the best players can lose.In poker, luck certainly plays a role, especially in the short term. However, in the long term, the skill of the player becomes the determining factor.

Sometimes luck in those moments of a poker tournament (where I'm the underdog) gives me an emotional boost to achieve my local poker goals. My luck also works as a demotivating tool for other players (they usually fold more often when under pressure). :geek:

If you make it to the tournament with a weak squad, that's also a stroke of luck.

Absolutely. I cannot beat Tiger Woods at golf, no chance at winning a tennis match against Roger Federer and I doubt my surviving an MMA match against the best in the UFC...but, in the short run, with luck, I can hold my own against any poker pro. Playing with the Cardschat team, I lasted into day 2 of the 2019 wsop Colossus event...which means I outlasted many poker pros...yes, poker, if you get lucky, can take you to heights unlimited.

I'm unlucky, I have 66, I end up losing to QA of different suits, I have QA of the same suit and I end up losing to 66.
I have AA and I end up losing to 52, well, if that's not luck, what is it?

Yes, I believe in luck. But I rely on skills, experience, patience and discipline. Nevertheless, I know that it is impossible to win a tournament without luck.

See Michaels run at the main. He is a very good player, without any doubt, but he was running like god.

Luck is not the most important factor, but it makes it much easier to win at poker tables.

100% luck should be on your side, but strategy is also important.

Poker is a game of incomplete calculation precisely because of the luck factor, of course luck alone doesn't make you a champion

Luck plays a significant role in short-term results. In the long term, skill and strategy become crucial.
