Poker players on 2+2 who believe in luck! I hope you're playing at the same table as me.

Absolutely we believe in luck! Is it luck or skill that causes your pocket Aces? Is it luck or skill that forces you to fold 10 hands in a row before the flop? Is it luck or skill that makes your low pair a set on the flop? We could go on and on, but I think you get the picture.

The whole idea is to continue to play correctly and in the end your luck will even out and your skill will then cause you to be a winner.

The worst mistake that is made for those possessing the proper skills is to tilt when luck runs bad. But what is tilt other than simply NOT PLAYING CORRECTLY (to the extreme, I might add).

You won't find a single experienced player on this forum who doesn't believe that luck plays a part in poker. If you doubt that, take a poll to convince yourself.
