Message: [QUOTE="frepe00, post: 2482566, member: 124342"] [b]About Luck[/b] I have long since come to truly believe that there is such thing as luck and that it is just as real as skills. Luck is not usually constant but fluctuate, from day to day, week to week or month to month. Sometimes even hour to hour, but I would say that luck often stays for a while before leaving again. Every pokerplayer must have experienced this from time to time, days when you hit everything, and I mean EVERYTHING. It is completely separated from skills but when you are skilled and have luck you are unbeatable! Some have luck more often than others and for some it is more or less constant. On the flip side, some have luck very rarely and instead are plagued by horrible bad luck much of the time. Bad luck is the days when whatever you do, you just can’t win. Even the strongest hands get wiped out on the river. Hitting a flush, straight or full house is impossible, if it would mean you would win the pot. However, and this is crucial, when playing with bad luck you often see yourself sitting with a strong hand but losing to an even stronger hand. Unless you have the nut you will lose, and you will never hit the nut. This is where I usually dwell and to exemplify: Just got rockets and reraised the player to my right who called. Flop was all hearts and even though the other player raised I felt it was improbable he had flush based on earlier plays and I had ace of hearts. This guys calls and indeed I was right, he had K4 in spades with a pair of fours on the board. He calls an all in were an obvious flush draw is with a pair of fours!! Had he played any other player he would have got wiped. But against me? Well the next card on the board was a four and river nothing that helped me. This is just one example of many, and I know what you’re going to say: stop playing you miserable bastard. Well I suppose I could, but the fact is that when I’m not haunted by these days of bad luck I’m actually a good player and even I get days when I’m unbeatable (although seldom). I love to play poker and in all I break even at worst. So this is just my view on luck and I know most of you gamblers out there know what I’m talking about. Right? [/QUOTE]
