Ok, here is the whole thing nut in a shell: Skill=75%, variance=25%. Luck=? Can't really figure the % luck plays, every one will have a different degree at different times. Donkers seem to have more luck with 2-7 against your pocket kings because variance comes into play, but the donker won't beat your monster hand very many times. Lets say you have a-a, the flop is 3-7-9, you bet the hell out of them, you get re-raised big time, you go all-in, what is wrong with your play there? You can't lay down those aces, and run them right into a set, boooom. Too many players equate that with: the site set me up, or, the fish got lucky, no **** mr. pro, you can't expect a call, and expect no one to help their hand, just like you COULD have hit a set. If your not able to lay down what you THINK is the big monster holy grail can't be beaten A-A, then your still an amateur rookie yourself, and can expect to stay there, until that day comes when you can muck a-a just like they were deuces, and then it hit's you, it was my skill in being able to do that, without someone holding a gun to your head. Nope, luck plays just a small part in the game of poker, skill and discipline plays the greatest part in being a good player. But, i will say this, with the humongous donk pool currently playing on the carbon site, with 90% of them playing so bad i am absolutely shamed to admit they are from the U.S.ofA, the argument is valid for that site, it is a card lottery through and through. Good, solid play is a thing of the past there, it's for real any two will do. Call and draw. Chase every hand. Play every hand. PFFFFFFFTTTT.
