I laugh when people tell that poker is just as random as the lottery!

It?s hard work. Gambling. Playing poker. Don?t let anyone tell you different. Think about what it?s like sitting at a poker table with people whose only goal is to cut your throat, take your money, and leave you out back talking to yourself about what went wrong inside. That probably sounds harsh. But that?s the way it is at the poker table. If you don?t believe me, then you?re the lamb that?s going off to the slaughter."

Sorry about the rant but im getting tired of the endless comments that is is all based on luck..

Poker is a game of skill. Yes luck is a factor like in everything else but lucky or not as a good player making a profit year after year is not that hard!

end rant!

Post inspired by a player going all in loosing to my four of a kind even after i told him I had it and telling me i was lucky LOL!


The amount of Luck involved in ones poker game is directly perportional to the skill level in which they play. The more skill you have as a player the less Luck there seems to be involved. A-K suited 3 hands in a row can be called luck I suppose . Knowing how to play 6-8 suited in 4th posistion and winning is skill. When people tell you how lucky you are on a consistant basis, smile and be sure to save a seat for them on you immediate left at the table
