Good morning everyone, poker is a long term game where luck has a small percentage, if you are a player who studies the game, has technical and theoretical knowledge it is certain that in the long term you will be profitable even with some ease . The only way to count on luck in poker is in the short term if you win, for example, a ticket to play an expensive MTT and luckily you get good cards or get coolers in favor and win a lot of money, but that's 1 in 1,000,0000 .There's a player who played micro and managed to enter the sunday million on the PS, even so I don't consider it lucky because this player clearly has technical and theoretical knowledge, but he was "lucky" to run very well and hit the sunday million, winning a gigantic value, maybe the agent could say that it was luck, maybe. You can be lucky enough to play spin go a few times and see the maximum prize at roulette, then it's luck because it doesn't depend on knowledge, but solely and exclusively on luck. I started playing cash games, I have more than 100k hands and my graph is just going up with almost no negative variance, which proves that technical and theoretical knowledge has a much higher percentage than luck.

No, because when you rely solely on luck, you might win around 25% of hands, but overall, you won't achieve any significant winnings. Not to mention the chances of winning tournaments, which are approximately around 0.001%.

It is possible to have short-term success in poker relying solely on luck, but in the long run, skill and strategy are crucial for consistent winning. Luck alone is not a reliable or sustainable strategy in the game

While luck can play a role in individual poker hands or short-term results, consistently winning at poker relies heavily on skill, strategy, and decision-making. Relying solely on luck is not a viable long-term strategy for success in poker.
Here are a few reasons why:
Here are a few reasons why:
- Variance: Poker is a game with an element of randomness, known as variance. In the short term, luck can have a significant impact on individual hands or sessions. However, over a large sample size of hands, skill and strategy will prevail, and luck will even out.
- Skill-based Decisions: Poker involves making numerous decisions based on the information available, including hand selection, bet sizing, reading opponents, and understanding probabilities. These decisions require a deep understanding of the game, mathematical calculations, and psychological insights that go beyond relying on luck alone.
- Bankroll Management: Proper bankroll management is a crucial aspect of poker. Even the most skilled players can experience losing streaks due to the natural variance of the game. Good bankroll management helps players weather these fluctuations and continue playing at their best, despite short-term luck.
- Exploiting Opponents: Skilled poker players have the ability to exploit the mistakes and weaknesses of their opponents. This involves reading their tendencies, bluffing effectively, and making well-timed strategic moves. Relying solely on luck would not allow for consistent exploitation of opponents' errors.
- Long-term Results: Poker is a game where long-term results matter more than short-term outcomes. In the long run, luck evens out, and skill becomes the predominant factor. Professional poker players consistently demonstrate their skills by achieving positive results over extended periods of play.

Sometimes Poker is pure hability, sometimes you need luck, sometimes both. You can go all-in, like rolling the dice, or you can fold with hability, or maybe you can fight with an strategy with good hands and oportunities.
