Skill vs Luck in Poker: How Would You Play in This Situation?

[Longbow]

We know that poker in the long term is more about skill and decision making, but almost all of us go through situations where luck is not with us in poker, in some tournaments we are left waiting for several and several hands with good equities, some poker professionals say that we should play a few hands with good equity, but sometimes they don't appear and we see our stack decrease, where we need to bluff to survive in the tournament, well I would like to know your opinion, what strategy do you use in these situations, where you don't hits cards on the flop, and your hands are low equity for several rounds in a row?

If you can be patient then try that. If not then look for the weak players and go after them. Good luck!

Hi
I'm just waiting for a situation where the risk will be at least justified. Sometimes luck passes by, but in the long run it's not a problem if you have bankroll management, patience and the desire to achieve the goal

It all depends on the table and opponents. You need to find a balance between loose and tight play. Some players can be exploited without having good cards.
