Luck in poker is real. Anyone who tells you otherwise has never had their Aces cracked by 9-6 offsuit on the river.
But here's my honest view: luck is just variance with a human face. We call it luck when the outcome surprises us. We call it skill when it confirms what we expected.
The truth is neither fully exists in isolation.
Short term — luck dominates. You can play perfectly and lose. You can play terribly and win. The cards don't care about your logic.
Long term — skill dominates. The same names keep appearing at final tables. The same players keep making money year after year. That's not luck. That's pattern.
What I've learned after years of playing is that chasing luck is the fastest way to go broke. But ignoring it completely is just arrogance.
The best players I've seen don't fight luck or worship it. They simply accept it as part of the game — like weather. You can't control the rain. You can choose whether to bring an umbrella.
Make good decisions. Let luck do whatever it wants.
It usually gets bored and moves on eventually. 😄
