From my little experience, I can say that luck has a strong influence on the result. I can't help feeling that constant travel will never end. On the other hand, when you watch professional players, you are convinced that moving is a standard that you need to get used to.

In everything it is influenced because if I'm lucky I win, something obvious.
But you can win some pots with a bluff too.

If it influences a little, but knowing how to play and having knowledge or strategies works in a better way, so we must know well about variance

Luck has a big impact on the outcome of a game. You can't win without moving.

Luck has a huge impact. Somehow I was lucky on the big side with only an average card thrown all in the middle, hopelessly waiting for a good card. This affected as many as three tournaments that were related to each other.

If the luckiest player in the world played against the best player in the world, who do you think would win? So you have the answer ;)

When I see headsups I figured out that the luck is everything. I mean. When for the game time, the clock is over... the game goes automatically, then the players have no chance to act. Both players have the same opportunity, the same probability to win. So. I use that concept. Because if this is like that, Then you need to do something to get that balance to your side. No matter what. bluffing and with strategies against known players and good spots. Whatever you need to. I'm trying to study more deeply what happen when the players takes no action on a headsups.

No matter how good you are or will become... You still need the better cards when getting to the showdown... However, you can develop strategies to win pots before that moment of the game.

Happiness is of great importance is a fact.

but luck is helped when you play regularly, according to bankrol managment, develop your game, learn, train mastery of emotions and anger and tilt. all these things probably add up to luck.

Luck decides a lot, but skills are also important and affect the result. You should strive to constantly improve your game and skills and then you will have more chances to attract luck.

Luck is not a permanent thing. But if luck is on your side, then even the best player will not stand against you.

In the short term, luck has a major influence. You can win any tournament if you are in a lucky day, but in the long run you will need to have anothers skills and a good poker mentality to have success.

I'm not sure how long you have been playing but after playing and learning more about poker you'll understand the odds and how things works, we have the power as players to turns scenarios with our actions in playing poker :)

You need some luck specially to do well, final table and win an MTT. You also though can affect/create your own luck by knowing how to play, having patience, exploiting villain/your own table image and play the player not the cards.

In cash it takes less luck because you can have more patience as there's not the same time restraint like MTT's. Blinds going up force you to play sooner later regardless of cards.


Cheers!!!

Good morning everyone, I changed my opinion once again, I said that luck has very little interference in the results, but now I realize that yes, the luck factor counts a lot.
There are players who have accounts called "good" because they win many All ins in a row and there is my account where I lose a lot of All ins in a row which significantly interferes with the results, I often arrive well in tournaments and lose All ins with better hands, what else to think that luck counts, in addition to knowledge and technique.

That luck is only of influence on the shortterm. If you play for the long haul, it's just statistics and it will even itself out to the odds you have before the runout happens.

Don't fool yourself in thinking this is good or bad luck. Just variance.

Luck is definitely important part of the game, but ultimate thing is the best players always do well . Cos luck prefers the bravest, if we see usually top skilled players also gets loads of luck. Why cos in many last situation, they know how the risk taking in some spots can put them in top spot to give them better chance for winning big

I believe that luck greatly influences the game of poker because with a lucky move you change the outcome of the game and it becomes easier to win

NO luck. all is math. even when the vilan has 2 outs and hits. Lucky is to win in a lotery wich is 1 billion of the probability against. In poker is only price in chips. In worse case you pay to see 1/50 cards (we hold 2 cards in case) and that give us 2% chances to win.
