Hey guys,

I was having an argument with a friend about Poker vs. Luck. Basically as an example he says that sometimes you need to call with rag hands because you can hit big hands and win money, but i keep insisting that mathematically calling with rag hands is a -EV even if he hits from time to time something big and gets money out of the raiser. Basically since i have read many books my mind is set into a +EV type of game. He never read any books about poker so he does not know anything about +/-EV and stuff like that(i`m not saying that people who never read books cant win but they have a bit different opinion on the game). Basically he has a mind of a chaser. Example i was fighting about.. He would chase the flush draw till the river because he believes when he hits it he will win big money. I on the other hand tell him that mathematically he will hit the flush less often on the river or turn then when he hits it. He still insists that he will make more money. Am i wrong here? i mean I understand people sometimes bluff and are able to get others of the hand when they sens weakness but over all if you chase like that 100000 hands arent your plays -EV?
