Most of us agree that luck is not equal, it can not be determined, it can not be forcasted, so therefor it should never be a thought in your head while playing.  You may want to 'gamble' from time to time in hopes that you get lucky, but most of us realize this is a terrible way to play.  You should never consider your luck in anything - ever!  The only exception is when you are reviewing your session and you can see a spot where you got unlucky and the loss was not due to bad play (and reverse is true, you got lucky despite playing bad).  Otherwise you should never use it as a tool to play.

With this, luck isnt 'meaningless' by any standard.  But again, should never be a tool in how you look at future games, just past ones.

One thing, however, that we can take from this.  people talk about odds and the math of poker, well with knowing that odds do not always affect everyone the same, it can be said that reads of your opponents are a much more valuable tool than knowing the math, and I agree with this!  Especially in tournaments.  The people who can make better reads on players will always have way more success than those that just play by the math...and I would back a player with good reads and bad math over the reverse every time.
