the luck aspect of it is when preparation meets opportunity.
Knowing the math and getting your chips in in the more equitable spots to lower the variance against you

If I had to choose one word to define poker, it would be strategy — because every decision at the table, from preflop to river, involves careful thinking, calculating odds, reading opponents, and planning ahead. While luck plays a role in the short term, it's the strategic decisions that separate long-term winners from the rest. Poker isn't just a game of cards — it's a game of people, information, and calculated risks.

I would define poker in one word as "bluffing," because this ability to make others believe you have a better hand than you actually do is a crucial element of the game, along with luck and strategy.

Patience 🥶

Poker in one word: Patience. Without patience it’s impossible to wait for the right spots and make good decisions.

ADRENALINE, I don't think I feel more adrenaline in any other game other than POKER, every time I play that is always reflected.

 

[janwar]

if I had to pick one word, it would be patience. You can study all the strategy in the world, but if you don’t have patience to wait for the right spots, it all goes out the window.
