[Edit: Original Poster, one dickheaded "kevin weber", now banned, posted something then later edited the original post to include garbage links to garbage gambling sites. Had to be deleted. Sorry! - Adam]

You are asking two completley different questions.
kevin weber wrote:What makes one person lucky and one person unlucky? Some people seem to have all the luck. Some people think that lucky people seem to have similar traits of personality. The "Lucky" person is usually the one with the positive attitude.
Yes, I'd agree with this. But most people who are 'lucky' also play with an edge. For example; if i get my dream job it's not because i applied for one job and 'got lucky' it's because i applied for 500 jobs and got offered 10 (and one of them was my dream job.)

There is little luck in gambling because most are statistical games with mathamatical equations.

As for poker - this falls in to neither of the above.

What most people mistake as luck is a combination of preparedness and skill.

LUCK, when preparation meets opportunity.

There is no better way to explain it, this is what its about.
