No matter how many lucky rabbit’s feet you buy off of that band of gypsies who just rolled through your town with promises of riches, over an extended period of time, everybody has the same amount of luck. Statistics show us that the larger a sample size (amount of events, in this case poker hands) is, the more likely the average will balance out somewhere in the middle between good and bad. If you and Phil Ivey sat down to play poker together and got dealt 10 hands, one of you would most likely have recieved a far better quality of hand, but if you were both dealt 1,000 hands there would be an even distribution between good and bad hands for both of you.

The reason for this is there is no skill to being dealt poker cards. The Difference between people who are viewed as “lucky” or “unlucky” is what kind of position they put themselves in.
A “lucky” player is one who always seems to hit that flush or that straight. Or whenever they turn over their cards they have a monster hand. This is most likely because they are playing their hands AND their opponents with a high level of skill. They make sure when they are going deep into a hand they have a multitude of “outs” or possible cards that will give them a winning hand and their ability to read their opponent gives them some sort of insight into the quality of their hand, giving them an idea of what they have to beat.
An “unlucky” player on the other hand always seems to lose with ace king, or can’t manage to make their flush or straight, or gets beaten by a higher pair. This is because they are probaby going into flops playing inferior cards or holding on to their good cards too long. Ace king doesn’t look that good when a bunch of 8’s and 9’s come out on the flop. They also probably are less capable of reading their opponents and realizing when they are beat, creating heart breaking losses in hands like aces versus kings.
Online poker often creates the feeling that luck isn’t even a factor, that the program distrubuting the cards is doing so in a purposeful manner. People feel like when they play poker tournaments with their buddies at home they get better hands than they do at online poker games. This couldn’t be farther from the truth.
