The Hidden Luck Factor:

This is one of my favorite parts, and here's my interpretation:

We all know there's luck in poker, what cards you are dealt and what comes on the board. The hidden luck is that you also rely on the "luck" of the other people at the table. If you are dealt pocket aces 10 times in a row, that would be very lucky obviously, BUT if everyone else was dealt 72 offsuit, 83 offsuit etc. and always folded to your PF raises you'd never win more than the blinds for those ten hands. Now, if at least one person was dealt pocket Kings each of those ten hands, you'd expect to win rather large pots 8 of those 10 times.

The "hidden" luck you want, is the kind that deals someone else at the table a strong hand, but not quite as strong as the one you are dealt.

It's like when you flop the absolute nuts. You are hoping that someone else either hit the flop, or makes a good hand on the turn or river, otherwise you can't expect to get paid off.
