eh, preflop play is only 20% of the game. It doesn't matter what you go in with if you are horrendous post flop. A 'luck' factor is silly. All the players will get the same luck over a large enough sample of hands.

I've often thought some sort of luck factor would be useful for judging whether or not you're running bad in the short term. Granted, an all-encompassing luck factor would be required, which could be very complex, but still...

PF alone is worthless, I agree. But if you could manage to create some sort of accurate way to gauge how often your made hand is cracked versus the likelihood of it happening, or something along those lines, it could be useful for the sanity of your average player when enduring a bad run, or help convince a bad player that they aren't running bad.
