How to beat a player who seems lucky....

So you'll push when you think you are ahead and he calls? So you are giving him 2-1 odds to make a call when he only needs one card? You do realize that a call on a 4 flush on the flop only needs 2-1 odds to be a good call right? Add an OESD and he'd be wrong to NOT call.

Sorry man - but it sounds to me like you are not quite the poker player he is.

Please read more carefully. I said if I'm pretty sure he still needs two cards to make his draw I will push. This seems to be the only thing that will occasionally push him off of his draws. But he will some times call anyway and he catches his two cards a lot more than the odds would indicate that he should.

And don't even try telling me that he knows when he's getting proper odds. He openly states that the cards don't know what the odds are, so the odds do not matter to him. He also says that people who take the time to calculate odds and worry about position are reading too many poker books. If that makes him a better player than me, then so be it.
