Message: [QUOTE="Hsac, post: 6461444, member: 431663"] Luck plays the biggest part in the short term, skill in the long term. For instance, I called an all-in with AA against someone who had 55 yesterday. His all-in was ridiculous, betting early in a nine handed game. The blinds weren't even enough yet to justify such a bet. We both flopped a set. Then he drew the case 5 on the river. My wife was sitting next to me and watching the game. I told her, "Wow, that guy just drew out on me with 46 to 1 odds against him." She asked, "What were the odds before the flop?" "About 4.5 to 1 against him." She said, "Doesn't that bother you?" I answered, "No, because I know in the long run, I'll be making a hell of a lot more money playing poker than him and I hope to run into him again someday. " [/QUOTE]
