Honestly, every time I hear someone say “Poker is a game of skill, not luck,” I feel like inviting them to sit with me at my tables for a while… maybe they'll change their mind after their first bad beat 😂
I truly believe luck makes up 90% of success in poker. The other 10%? A mix of praying, staying calm, and knowing when to shut your laptop before you lose your dignity.
You’ve got people out there living by GTO charts, running range calculations, studying solver outputs like they’re in a lab. Respect to them — seriously. But let’s be real: when someone calls you down with 7-2 offsuit and magically hits a flush on the river… no amount of strategy is gonna save you 😅
Poker is a game of luck with a strategic disguise — not the other way around.
Play it right, you still lose. Play it crazy, sometimes you win. That’s the game. So spare us the lecture on elite strategy, and just hope the deck shows you some love for once 😄
