Message: [QUOTE="Rumme1, post: 2966931, member: 182441"] Well , this is a poker discussion forum ? I realize some players may be more interested in threads discussing a players favorite drink at the poker table or how many times they must go pee in a 10 hour poker session. Those sorts of subjects are meaningless to me, so I started a thread about luck , which I feel is often a misunderstood and under estimated factor in poker. I am still a winning poker player, but not nearly as much as years ago, when I had a steady supply of good luck on my side . Its just interesting for me to look back and realize that at one time, I had good poker skills and good luck ,and now I am grinding it out based on skills alone because the good luck has been absent for quite a while, which basically means the big poker profits are no longer easy to come by , even though the poker players in my current location, are some of the worst I have ever witnessed in over 30 years of play. In other words, theres a ton of money to be won in the 3-4 local games per week , but consistent cold cards and bad beats keep much of that money to be won, out of my pocket . I dont think most people can understand just how bad the quality of players are in my locations. For example, in the $300 min buy in pot limit game , we have several loose players that will raise preflop, without looking at their down cards. I consider this to be one of the stupidest plays in poker and its a play that if I did on a continual basis, it would warrant me being a big loser in the game ..yet some of these players do it all the time, and do not get punished for such improper, poor play. Yes, it gets frustrating to see so many players, trying to give their money away in a poker game , and yet one is unable to benefit from it due to a long run of bad luck. My bad luck isnt about me being a big loser in the game...its about me not being able to be a big winner , when these players are throwing their money away at the table. Theres nothing more frustrating then this scenario, especially when it has been going on for over a year or more. [/QUOTE]
