Worst Luck In Poker
Luck in poker is short term in nature. While a downswing can be brutal, the upswings will eventually compensate. What holds players back is blaming ‘bad luck’ as an excuse not to work on their game the chance element evens out in the end, get over it. Realization #2 – Too Many Donks Are Impossible To Beat.
Daniel 'Kid Poker' Negreanu's complaints are louder than his game at this point in the challenge against Doug Polk. After 17,000 out o 25,000 hands, he is lossing $700,000. As if he were a rookie, Negreanu blames his losses on back luck.
There are really three types of bad luck in poker. There is getting your money in the the best hand, only to see the cards screw you (a bad beat); getting your money in with the worst hand because. Poker is 100% a game of skill in the long run. However there is a large element of luck in the short term. Professional poker players mitigate the luck aspect by consistently making mathematically superior decisions and therefore winning in the long run. In this article I am going to discuss how much luck plays a role in poker in the short run. Most players complain endlessly about their bad luck. They cry about their rotten cards. Agonizing over the endless hours missing countless flops and getting sucked out on by bozos. You have to get over this if you have any hope of becoming a legit, long-term winner in poker.
Poker and chess lessons for Daniel Negreanu
Doug Polk stopped the winning streak with which Daniel Negreanu opened the year and has already booked three winnings in a row.
With losses of more than $700,000, Daniel Negreanu is moaning for the 'luck' that 'always' gives his opponent the best cards.
The 29th session between Negreanu and Polk was perhaps the most aggressive of the challenge so far. With big stakes at the table, Kid Poker missed a real opportunity to keep recovering. He may not have another in the 8,000 remaining hands of the match.
Although Daniel did not dare to directly accuse WSOP.com of having a rigged platform, he complained about what he considers an unusual distribution of cards and said that never in his life he had seen such a lucky streak.
'I'm not suggesting that the software is rigged, but it feels like that. It just doesn't feel real, and I've been playing poker for 27, 28 years. This doesn't seem possible. I know variance is a thing, but this is unreal. This is insane, I don't even believe what I'm seeing. It literally has me speechless. He ran so luck in this match he has no clue.'

Checkmate
On January 16, Daniel Negreanu posted an image on his Twitter account of his victory playing chess. Before that, on January 12, he shared was raking lessons in the so-called 'science game.' Polk didn't lose this opportunity and answered Daniel:
'Never been a better time to spend every moment learning how to improve your chess game.'
Can you believe this guy? This is embarrassing: Doug Polk
On his post-match interview, Doug joked all the time about his 'good luck', also attacking Negreanu's game:
'Could someone put that in your calculator what's the chance of not hitting a flush against aces because that has to be one in a million. When you raise small you risk less to win the same amount. It's advanced poker tips probably in the Negreanu master class.'
Polk also mocked the GGPoker transmission and clarified he won only 1.8 buy-ins on his 'luckiest session ever.'
'And the GGPoker commentators like they are: Negreanu yes you have been running bad you've been running bad Mr. Negreanu we're so sorry about it. I win 1.8 buy-ins today. 1.8 not even two buy-ins and I'm the luckiest man that's ever lived.'
Thinking about family life
During the interview, Polk also clarified the reasons for a recent publication, in which he expressed his desire to settle outside the State of Nevada in the future:
'Well, there are several different reasons, the first is at some point I'll probably start a family, I don't think Vegas would be good for that.'
