Of course I believe in luck at the poker table, on a good day, anyone with luck can win against professional poker players. But usually in the long run, you need a lot more skills than just luck to be a successful player.

If I didn't believe in luck, I wouldn't have started playing poker. Poker is about skills, poker is about experience, and poker is about luck.

Yes, luck definitely plays a role in poker — that’s a fact.
But relying only on luck is a bad idea. It’s very rare when everything just goes your way and the cards actually hit.
And sometimes it’s the opposite — you keep getting strong hands, but still get outdrawn again and again.
So yes, poker has both luck… and bad luck too!

Omg this is exactly the thread I was meant to find today.
Luck vs statistic
Statistics say we have upswing and downswings
Statistics say we can be losing with kk vs aa 3 times in a row
Then kk vs j10 78s we lose as well
Upswing and downswings statistically accurate and simulation approved
Bad Luck states it can be us losing with kk vs aa 3 times in a row
Then kk vs j10 78s
Or good luck can be in reverse
Statistically understood and incorporated into stats.....
Whats the difference between Luck and Statistics again?
Let's talk Streak Theory
(Still in the works it's somewhere on this cc forum I wrote it)

A little bit of both. You can implement the best strategy, but without luck, you won't win.
On the other hand, I've seen a lot of players in this community who rely solely on luck to win. The problem is that, in the long run, they end up losing.
Luck is necessary to win, but it's not essential for long-term results.
While strategy is essential, but not necessary, to win in some tournaments.

I do believe in prayer and intent.
Emotions defy all luck and Statistics
Its shows us God really does exist.

Luck is a very big part no?
You can have pocket aces but lose against everthing above pair ( excluded aces 😜)
The amount for deck shuffling is enormous in the way no deck shuffle has ever been the same ... There is no strategy in how to read a deck unfolds
You can watch how players play and see their "tics" and read them but

Yes but wasn't it Doyle Brunson that said "You need to have heart" too.

For me, online poker is 50% skill and 50% luck. I have been playing poker for almost 10 years and I believe in both skill and luck. If you ask me if you need skills to play, I will tell you that skills are necessary, but I can also tell you the same about luck.
