I think the key here is that Paluka's good enough to know when it's luck and when it's not.

btw- Paluka- you have 666 posts, plz stop now and create a new account.

I think I have been incredibly lucky, since I have run well when I needed to, and run bad when it has not hurt me too much. Also, I have had a lot of tournament success. I think my tournament game is reasonably strong, but that just means I am better situated to do well when I get lucky.

And 3 people agreed with this comment. The key phrase you guys must have missed is, "over the course of your poker career". If your poker career started before birth, then I apolagize.

FWIW, I have the same feelings for myself as Paluka. My luck at MTT final tables, 100/200 and 25/50 NL has been pretty poor, and that's completely understandable with under 10k hands played in those situations.

Damn straight. I'm the luckiest guy in the world to have both the time and extra money to play poker.

I'm lucky I got that $15 just for signing up back at Gaming Club, and then stumbling upon 2+2.

Although I answered "I have played so much poker..."

I got incredibly lucky in the beginning, considering I started Party with $50 and not even a sign on bonus. Just two $25 NL buy ins. Whew!

I have to say that I've been extremely lucky. I don't play tournaments very often...4-5 a month, on average. But in the last three weeks, I won a 440 person 100+9 on party for 11K, and took fifth in a 2060 person 200+15 on stars, for another 20K. Plus there was that month where I decided to take a shot at Party 15/30 with a 4K bankroll and ran it up to 20K in two weeks.

So yeah, I've been pretty f***** lucky, I'd say.

Will
