We’ve all seen players who seem to win every hand.
But in most cases, it’s not luck—it’s either short-term variance or better decision-making.
Over time, skill always beats luck in poker.
Do you believe in “lucky players,” or just variance?

It’s pure luck, sorry, it’s akin to a game of slots. You basically cannot win without luck. If you get the cards then you can win. You cannot win without a run of luck.

Todos hemos visto jugadores que parecen ganar todas las manos.
Pero en la mayoría de los casos, no se trata de suerte, sino de variaciones a corto plazo o de una mejor toma de decisiones.
Con el tiempo, la habilidad siempre supera a la suerte en el póker.
¿Crees en los "jugadores afortunados" o simplemente en la variabilidad?

I can understand the variance thing or maybe not. But you can play 100 tournaments or 1000 tournaments whether you're an amateur or professional, without luck you won't win any of them no matter how well you play. salutes
