Default How much is LUCK?
I know you all have seen or heard Phil Helmuth with that line, "If it wasn't for luck, I'd win them all"

What I want to know am I the only one that thinks you hvae to be at least a little lucky at times? I know most of my game is luck as I usually only play hands where it looks to me that I may win. Hard for me to bluff anyway. I just really think that luck is more a part of the game than what most of the people think.

If you want to know what luck and poker is about just watch the intro of Poker After Dark. Good ol' Doyle Brunson will explain everything.

That series is an object lesson to those who still want to say allin preflop when not shorst stacked is a good move. They may like to ask themselves why it doesn't happen if it is such a good idea.
