Default Re: Zen and The Art of Poker

You'll see this happen. I'm not a big believer in "luck". Luck I think of as being nothing more that a narrow minded, short view in probability. "Varience" is a much more suitable term.

Luck: The chance happening of fortunate or adverse events; fortune.
Variance: A difference between what is expected and what actually occurs.
Probability: A number expressing the likelihood that a specific event will occur, expressed as the ratio of the number of actual occurrences to the number of possible occurrences.
