It is not "The Lottery". The odds of winning the lottery are astronomical studying those odds does not increase your chance of winning. Knowing the odds my hand has to win or not is how I am learning to make the correct decisions. Studying different spots and getting with others to get their take on ways to handle different predicaments is another way to get better. The same people win too often in poker for it to be a lottery.🙄
if its a bad beat get over it and stop crying like a baby its math its variance you are going to lose a percentage of the time, and if you played bad and now you're blaming luck you're saying that poker is gambling or roulette or whatever you have no right to do that this game is literally more complicated than you can understand even if you have been playing for 10years because its an ever evolving mind game so stop saying bad things about the game that we love and keep these kind of words to yourself.

Regardless what anyone says poker is gambling and when you gamble stuff like that happens, anyone who tells you differently does not know the meaning of the word gambling. But I think thats the whole point of poker. If lets say AA always won, the game would die because everyone would always wait for it. Plus think how often did you get there on the river, its all part of the game.
