Hello everybody

I am sure most of u guys know that nice little HeroesOfMight&Magic 3 game.

There is some Hero skill named Luck.
ba<x>sed on this skill your creatures have a % chance to either deal double damage or only half damage.

I really have the feeling that this applies to me on RL

Ive been running bad in gambling situations ( non poker related)for as long as i can think back in time.
there are 100rds of examples from being a 5 year old to nowadays where i am becoming 23 years old in less than a year

I think i mentioned my legendary losing streak concerning
the " Bayern los" drawing lot action.

every now and then me and my 2 younger sisters buy some "bayern lose" they have a 12 % chance to hit for 1 $ and a smaller chance to hit for more money.

However i am 0-23 and lost 23 euros on that
wheres both of my sisters are only down like 5 euros ...

ANother nice example was when 2 of my friends and I didnt learn for a university test. It was a multiple choice test.
you only needed 60 of 100 points to pass.
SO we decided to gamble
Both got 64 points while i had 58 .... T_T

Also funny story ^^ when i was 16 years old i was really horny on a specific girl. I was so in Love and i had a Boner 3 times a day ... just cause she turned me on so hard.
I finally managed to get her laid.
Or we better say , i managed to get her willing to let my best part give her pleasure.
Unfortunately i didnt get a boner this time ...
was so curel .... I mean u get your dream girl to a one night stand , tell her how you will please her and fuck her like theres no tomorrow ... and then suddenly as a 16 year old things dont get up ... LOL ( one of the worst days of my life this was : now i can laugh about it haha , but whatever)

I ve never ever had not getting him up till this time and it always worked well after.
But just this one time when i was to nail my dream girl it didnt work T_T

Yeha , such situations where i have sick bad luck have basically frequently happend all my life .

I am used to it , so i am relaxed about that stuff and simply try to avoid situations where Luck plays a major part.

I simply have accepted that i have below average luck in RL.

SO why did i even start with Poker u may ask ?

there were 2 reasons

1. I believed in skill being > then luck in Poker
2. It was a challenge for myself. I knew from the beginnig id not run too good at Poker. But i was eager to show mister Jesus that i can beat his bad luck he gave me with my own ambition and hard work.

It was basically a test for myself.
can i make money though running slightly below average ?

And i realized i can

Whenever i ve made good money from Poker i run slightly worse than average but my skill was good enough to pwn low stakes though.

whenever i ve lost bigger money i run worse than hell.

The longer i played Poker the more i noticed luck plays a major part.
Not when u run only slightly worse than average ( u could still win good money then)
But when u run really really bad .. your skill does not matter.

SO everybody here is talking like :

In the long run luck is the same for everyone.

And this sounds reasonable to the human logic.

but how do u know ?
Just from my personl experience from Real Life this is not true.
Of course i cant give real evidence

[ but u cant either]
Its just what i experienced in RL.

I and some friends are running really really bad in every RL gambling situation and some others friends of me are running extremly well whenever it comes to luck involved.
ANd this over a sample size of many many years.

Poker has been no difference to me . ( how was i expecting to suddenly run good in online gambling ? when i run incredible bad in RL non poker related gambling ever since i live T_T stupid me)
I have had only 2 gears ever since i started with Poker ( november 2006) ...
running bad but winning money due to edge and
running incredible hell fucking bad and losing money.

Yeha ,
i ll take a brake from Poker.
dont know for how long ( i guess for quite some time)

I ll gamble off my last remaining FTP and qualify for some tourneys.

I Just think the thing with people running bad and people running good for the period of their entire life could very well be true.
Of course i think like 80 % of the people have about the same luck
but lets they there are like 10 % running far worse and 10 % running far better.

comming to the HOMM 3 me<x>taphor of the begining.
i am a Hero with a luck skill of - 2
cant change it ...

Easy to say anything about luck. I could say you are a very lucky person because you eat everyday or because you aren't born in Irak or in Afghanistan or in China or in Africa or in any other tough place.
