Bad Luck

[P0kerJunkie]

I recently finished reading Scott Fischman's book entitled Online Ace, and a particular passage struck me. In this passage, Fischman explains that there are several reasons why a particular poker player might not be able to become a professional, and he goes on to list a few reasons. One of the reasons he mentioned was "bad luck", and I'm not sure whether or not I agree with that statement. I understand that bad luck happens to absolutely everyone, for sessions, weeks, or even months at a time, but it seems like, with proper bankroll management and a strategy that consistently wins, an aspiring professional should not be barred singularly by bad luck. Any thoughts?

maybe he means dealing with the bad luck. Or maybe he means that some pros get started by getting a lucky big tourney win. Like Joe Hachem, he had to get lucky to win all that money to get to play professional poker. But I'm on your side, a winning game isn't barred by bad luck and this is why there are consistent winners
