Re: Rushes!
Luck is where opportunity and preparation meet. Nothing more, nothing less. A person or organization makes their own 'luck'; good, bad or indifferent. If you play 'perfect poker' and still lose it is a matter of 'opportunity' not luck. If you play stupid and win; it's still an issue of opportunity: you stayed when you shouldn't have and the most 'opportune' cards imaginable came, AKA you sucked out! But in the long run this kind of play makes you a loser.
That is (usually) why if you have PE, PO and IO you should play the hand regardless of the outcome - in the long run, you win. It's called Central Limit Theorom and/or Law of Large Numbers. Never luck. This is where preparation comes in, you must first be willing to learn and willing to risk, second be sufficiently funded, third have strict money management rules and NEVER break them, last set at the table and get your money in the pot.
