Luck.  Define it.  You probably can not.

In this mornings session, this happened 3 times...  I fold connectors and the flop fills a straight that I did not get to play because my skills tell me not to.  IN all 3 of those hands the turn and river brought either a flush or boat.  Was I lucky or unlucky ????

Until I read a definition of luck that strikes a resonance for me, I refuse to be concerned with it.

I'm not worried about the 60 hands part of the study.  That would be about an hour online, maybe an evenings worth live.  Both would fit a common criteria that decision makers (whoa be us) might use in their distorted processes.  While we ITT will know that longer term is better, most non poker players will look at things from a single instance POV, or if stretched since they are not pros, look at it as a session thing.

Our problem with this study will be in finding out how we can use it to make online poker work both for us and for fish.  Those decision makers might just glom onto this study as a reason to keep online poker in the dog house.  So maybe we need to encourage folks that that 6o hand sample has some merit as it does sort of represent what the average Joe would experience in his single 'session'.  Play it up as an example of recreational entertainment.  If we do this, we actual students of the game can benefit from a study we do not like.
