Message: [QUOTE="Mig32, post: 7194633, member: 1048996"] I have experienced that poker is a game where both luck and skill play important roles, but in the long run, skill always has the bigger impact. Luck can decide single hands or even whole tournaments, but consistent results only come from good decision-making, studying the game, and learning from mistakes. That’s why the best players keep winning over time, even though they also face bad beats like everyone else. Of course, I’ve had plenty of moments where it felt like luck was everything—like losing with pocket aces against weaker hands or getting knocked out on the river. In those moments, it’s easy to think the game is just pure luck. But whenever I take a step back, I realize that the more I improve my strategy, the better I handle those swings. Hard work and learning don’t remove luck, but they make sure that in the long run I come out ahead. [/QUOTE]
