Luck Vs luck

[agu10]

I think poker games are 90% luck then maybe 🤔 10% luck ..

[thornva]

Nah, short term it's all luck, but over thousands of hands the 10% skill really starts to show

[frostra]

nah short term variance is wild but long term the math don't lie, you can't bluff your way through 100k hands on luck alone

[syleon]

tbh sounds like you just described my entire poker career in one sentence 😂

[raxtha68]

So you're saying it's 100% luck with 10% skill sprinkled on top? Sounds about right for my last session tbh

[steinry]

that math ain't mathing but honestly i feel this in my soul after last night's bad beats

[larski2]

that 90% luck 10% luck math is giving me a headache but I can't argue with it ngl

[lorramia]

I remember a hand years ago where I went all in with absolute rags just to blind steal and somehow hit a full house on the river, and the guy tilted so hard he didn't play for a month. That 10% skill probably kicked in when I decided to use that crazy win as my table image for the next two hours.

If you want to tip the scales toward that tiiny slice of skill, start tracking your session notes immediately after you stand up from the table while the reads are still fresh.

[frostolesse]

yeah its basically all luck till u bluff the righht guy at the right moment

[Zylixlyn]

It really does feel like a 90% luck game until you sit with someone who peels apart every bet sizing tell like an onion. My personal take is the skill only reveals itself over thousands of hands but on a single Tuesday night anything can happen.

[benuis9c7s]

lol lets see how it goes

[vyxynyth]

fr i once sat at a 1/2 table for 6 hours and only won a single pot where i bluffed with 7 2 offsuit and the villain folded kings face up. that 10% skill is just knowing when to get lucky i guess lol

[vaelirax]

I spent three monts religiously logging every session and the brutal reality was my biggest winning nights were always when I hit my draws way above expectation, not when I thought I played particularly well.

[Ravirtia]

On a single hand luck steamrolls everything but over a month the guy who always 3 bets too wide bleeds off his rent while the nit picks up crumbs, so I lean more toward the grind rewarding discipline than the coinflip fantasy.

[kovaevan]

Poker is mostly watchng paint dry punctuated by 60 second bursts of misery, so either way the house wins.

[nyxellyn937]

I once folded pocket aces preflop in a home game cause my buddy had this twitch he does only with monsters, and he snap called with kings then spiked a set on the flop anyway so maybe its 90% luck plus 10% your friends are bad liars lol

[luxuriantly45]

haha i swear its more like 99% luck cause i ran queens into aces three times in one night last week, couldn't do a thing about it

[Lorerra]

honestly id take 90% luck over thinking you can outplay the river

[mikabt9pqi]

ngl ngl in one session it feels 110% luck, but long run teh regs ain't winning by accident bro ?

[tyceon]

idk man, if its 90% luck the same names wouldnt keep showing up at final tables every week

[wineienne]

do you think tourneys are more luck heavy than cash games tho? cause in cash I feel like skill edges out faster

[nixb4p2t]

ngl tbh poker is 90% luck and 10% pretending you know what youre doing ? ?

[Rexver2]

i won a pot once with 7 2 offsuit by mistake so yeah its deffo luck

[sylast]

so like does the 10% luck you mentioned kick in before the flop or after the river ruins your life, or is that just the same luck working double shifts 😂
