It's OK Arlon, you've already proven you're a clueless dolt who makes claims based on nothing, often in direct opposition to any and all evidence to the contrary; you don't have to KEEP proving it. Careful with that axe, Eugene. But in all seriousness Arlon, you're very mistaken about poker being about luck. Luck matters over the course of a hand, or a dozen hands, or even several hundred hands; luck doesn't matter over the course of millions of hands because by then everyone has had the same "luck." Everyone has hit cards, or had others hit cards against them, been dealt good hands and bad hands alike. What determines whether you win or lose is the decisions you make when those turns of "luck" happen. Good players will win more when luck goes their way, and lose less when luck turns against them. Good players will also win more when luck isn't in the favor of either player. The entire game is nothing but assessing probabilities, namely the probability your opponent has a range hands and the probability that they'll do X, Y, or Z with those hands. If you wanted an intro to the fundamental concepts I'd recommend David Sklansky's The Theory of Poker. It's a bit outdated as a strategy guide, but still gets to the fundamentals of what makes a winning player.
