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

haha, see, toldya someone would say I was a fish.

see posts above and below yours.

edit: I agree with others opinions that luck is in the past. I disagree that it's not cyclical... otherwise some people would always be lucky and others would always be unlucky. It's really unfortunate we can't tell where our luck is riding at any given moment. Come to think of it, I'd like to know what my opponents are holding too.

Your conclusion doesn't logically follow. If some people were always lucky and some were always unlucky that would be constant luck. Luck is neither cyclical nor constant. It is random. If it was cyclical you could predict your luck because it would be bad, then good, then bad, then good - you'd just have to detect when the "good cycle" had started and then gamboool it up. Luck doesn't work that way.
