When you get all in preflop with AA vs. 93o and win, you don't think of it as being lucky, but you are awarded 100% of the pot when you don't deserve that much. You deserve about 88% of it, and the other guy deserves about 12%. If you get all in preflop with AA vs. 93o for a $1 pot 1 million times, if you win 1 million times, you are very very very lucky. That won't happen, but in the end you will most likely end up with around $876,000 or so and the other guy will deservedly win about $124,000. This is obviously a hugely advantageous situation, one that you will take every time. Unfortunately in poker, your edges are rarely this large, however, you still have to push those slim edges. Pushing those slim edges repeatedly, over and over, countless times, is what poker is about, and there is essentially zero luck involved in that process. [/QUOTE]
