Well said and is true, but the only real part i disagree with is putting in a time period on how long you can run bad for. I have no idea how many hands you play a day/week/month, but if someone plays about 5kish hands a day it would be very difficult for them to have a downswong for a month, or more then a week or two. Multiple month downswongs for a person like that would not be by chance.

But yeah the past has no effect on the future, so you can run good/bad for quite long.

your post contradicts itself. You can run bad forever. End of story. The inverse is obviously also true.

So some people regularly win simply because they are on a lifetime lucky streak while others (YOU, for example) regularly lose simply because they are on a lifetime losing streak that they will never "ride out?"

That sounds like stinkin' thinkin' to me.

If this was true, then it throws out the entire poker is skill argument.

No it doesn't. DUCY? I'll let you work that out for yourself.

You guys are crazy.

Just do it like me. Play 100k hands a month, and eventually things even out. Or if not you learn to be better than everyone and just breakeven with worse luck than everyone else while actually being better than everyone.

Or you can be like me, play lots of hands, be worse than your opponents, and just run good forever. My way rocks.
