[QUOTE="Rumme1, post: 2974633, member: 182441"]
I have a friend who has been playing in all the local games in my area for over 50 years. He always has at least $3000 in his pocket when he goes to the local games..and hes ready to put it on the table if needed.

He is in his 70s, and he has a poor memory,  misreads his hands, plays way to many hands, raises without looking at his down cards, etc.  In other words, he does most of the things that would warrant him to be a BIG LOSER in the game of poker over the long term. But guess what, he is one of the biggest winners in the game . He has always had horsehoes up his ass and he constanlty hits his miracle cards to win big pots, even when he gets his money in bad.  He makes more straight flushes in 6 months, then Ive made in 30 years.

His winnings are primarily based upon his continous good luck in poker . The only explanation I have for his good luck, is the fact that he loves to play..it is in his blood...he doesnt grind it out ...he GAMBLES and wins.

If I gamble like he does, I would be a huge loser in poker. If I made the  constnat mistakes he makes, I would be a huge loser in poker.  His one and only edge is his continual good luck.  Now, I will admit, that when he has a unlucky session, he will drop $1000 or more...but he usually is the big winner and will win more then $1000.  He pushes hands , bets on his draws, and for some reason, he usually comes out ahead. It isnt skill..it is luck.

I know the difference between skill an luck . Im not new at poker.
