"I'd rather be lucky than good."

In the long haul, when all the luck is bled out of the equation, it's skill that separates winning players from losing players.

if you can't read players or their abilities very well, you will probably be the sucker at the table.

People who rely on luck are the ones that are making us money.

This is not always true, its a true belief but if in every short run your having alot of variance it will make your long term look donkish. Short blinds(under 30 minutes) also have a big effect on variance as people start to play hands they wouldnt or shouldnt play to chip up. Being a long term winning player has ALOT more to do with blind structure then anything

This sentence comes into my mind. Sometimes you loose and sometimes it's the other one who wins.

I had a pretty bad run today where I got beaten on the river and the other made his full house...
