Default Re: One last try

All I have been trying to say is Ivy is very much on the right in his poker skill. Where his luck falls we don't really know. He may be so far to the right that his luck is on the left and his skill just makes up for it.

No, that isn't what you said yesterday. You said Ivy's success is luck, and as evidence you provided a recounting of this video where, against all odds, he won three hands of poker.

But if we can find the person who is just as far on the right as Ivy and whose luck (beating the percentages) is also the farthest on the right, then we have just found the most dominate poker player in the world.

Pointless statement, since there is NO WAY TO MEASURE THE THING KNOWN AS LUCK or at least as it pertains to each individual player. This is why people do the thing known as "practice". Luck is uncontrollable. It either happens or it doesn't. Skill can be refined through trial-and-error or education.
