We all appreciate good luck in poker, and we wish we could save it for future games, but in many ways luck is the enemy of a good poker holdem player. First we have to view luck from the perspective of a bad poker player. At least half the times in which a bad player wins a holdem poker
pot, it will be due to luck.

The bad player comes with a disadvantage, even having more chances with the pot, he obtains the best cards and wins. The bad player has a million ways to have luck. Bad players try to have luck, and this is why it is not strange that bad poker players in general have more luck than good poker players.

On the other hand, good poker players give their best when they play. Of course, they are lucky sometimes, but they play taking into account their pot odds. Good texas holdem poker players in general make the right decision from the mathematical point of view in any situation.

Sometimes good players are accused of having good luck, for example, when an opponent tells them that they were lucky because they folded their poker hand. However, this is the reason why a good poker player raises the bet, to make other players fold. Luck here is the result of planning. This is the kind of luck good texas holdem players make all the time.
