You both had KK. So, only because of you having the King of hearts was it lucky.

A lot of people have suggested that you are born lucky. PLEASE EXPLAIN. Does a sky wizard decide at birth if you are lucky, how does that work. And how does the luck attach itself to you and is the sky wizard manipulating the numbers so you have luck. And what about the majority of us that lose against the odds. Have we done something to anger the sky wizard.
People believe in all kinds of things, ghosts, ESP, god, spoon bending, psychics, taro, palm reading just to name a few.
Doesnt surprise you believe, but when you need to verbalize your logic, you will fail

Yes people are born lucky. It’s in their genes.
This is a good article for you to ponder.
Kathryn Paige Harden, a 2003 Furman University psychology alumna, has written a new book, “The Genetic Lottery: Why DNA Matters for Social Equality” (Princeton University Press). In it, Harden studies how our genes influence the way we think, feel, and act—a field known as behavioral genetics. She writes that some people are born lucky, with DNA containing variants that predispose them to academic achievement, stable jobs, higher incomes and greater well-being.
She argues people inherit variants more likely to lead to mental illness, addiction, and poverty, as well as a greater risk of homelessness. While acknowledging the roles our environment and experiences play in shaping our lives, Harden makes the case that social scientists who want to address the roots of inequality must reckon with genetics.
Harden is professor of clinical psychology at the University of Texas at Austin, where she is director of the Developmental Behavior Genetics Lab and co-director of the Texas Twin Project. She holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia.
I graduated from Furman University in 1978 so I was just excited to see a Furman Alumni quoted lol.

When people say that we make our own luck, i agree, but not for the reason you may think.
I think Luck is a phenomena. It can be manipulated. How? By feeding it positively, confidence, hope, and by being patient.
When Luck is with another player, just wait patiently. Know that you WILL get a hand worth betting on and when you do, show Luck that you are confident, positive and hopeful by making the right bet. Luck won’t do all the work for you. Do your part by waiting for the right time, having the right attitude, and make the bet.

It’s called variance, and is the ups and downs of poker. I’ve had ten day runs where I would lose no matter what I was holding. I’d have a straight, they’d have a better straight. I’d have a flush, they’d have a better flush, or full house. Once I had a full house and two others had stronger full houses. It happens. Just be patient, and as long as you don’t lose your sh!t and play poorly, it will eventually even out.
