I like your quote. I'd just say that you can't truly master luck—you can only manage variance with good decisions, discipline, and patience. In the long run, skill is what separates winning players from the rest. ♠️

"I’ve gotten broke more times playing the bottom two pair than with any other hand playing Hold 'em." -- Doyle Brunson

I really like this quote because it shows one of the biggest challenges in poker: accepting that you can make the right decision and still lose sometimes. Skill helps you make better choices over time, but managing variance and emotions is what separates many successful players from the rest.

One of my favorite poker quotes is: “Poker is a game of decisions, not results.” I think it is a great reminder to focus on playing well instead of only judging yourself by whether you won or lost a hand.

Thanks for sharing this quote!
