Message: [QUOTE="oroochimaru, post: 6463492, member: 388305"] Without mentioning the timeline, it is challenging to compare the contributions of skill and luck. If we play one hand of poker, it's clear that the outcome is largely decided by luck. Over very short time periods, poker is almost entirely luck and over very long time periods, it's almost largely skill. Taking use of luck's influence on other players is another option. A streak of bad luck can cause other players to perceive you as a loose or weak player, while a streak of good luck can portray you as a tight or strong player. You can exploit either one to your advantage. You can take advantage of the predictable effects that other players' luck usually has on their play. For example, lucky winners tend to be loose and go for draws, but they can be bluffed, while unlucky losers tend to be tight and play strong hands, but they will reward you handsomely if your hand is stronger.
