More luck?  Less luck?   Personally I've never bothered to check.  It doesn't particularly interest me and partly because if I were to discover I was running a bunch below 'ev' on a particular day (in a particular tournament) or week... or month I think I could be prone to focusing on 'how unlucky I am'.  In my opinion this is not where I want my mental state to be while playing poker.

fwiw, you can actually check how lucky you've been (or unlucky)... to a degree anyways.  If you're tracking your hands (ie. via Pokertracker 4) you can look at your all-in ev

What can we gain from this?  I suppose we can assume if we've been unlucky or not.  It really only deals with a portion of the game... times when we're all-in

So if we discover we are running above EV we will likely not pay any attention to it but if we discover we are running below EV well then we can cry out "I am so unlucky!!!   I 'should be' winning in these spots!"

I believe there's other ways to see if I'm playing well.  And whether or not I'm lucky has no value for me.

I have watched some Twitch tv poker streamers and I must say the less appealing is when the streamer checks their ev and tells the viewers are much they are running below EV and then the whining commences.   It can really place a player in a terrible mindset. Even if they think it is not affecting their play it will negatively impacting their thought process.
