Real luck is hitting big hands when other players are hitting monsters too, only not as strong as yours.
I went out of the tournament on Sunday one before the final table. I thought that was unlucky.
The first hand I play in the cash game I get Ace, 6 suited and flop top pair (6) and four to the flush.
A guy bets, I call and another player calls. The turn is a blank for me. The original bettor puts all his chips in and I call, as does the other player. The bettor flopped two pair and the other player in the hand was chasing the flush, so clearly he was drawing dead. I hit my Ace on the river for a stronger two pair and trebble-up... nice one.
I then take Scallops chips when my King, 10 hits a 10 on the flop and the nut flush draw. I don't like the Ace, but I don't think Scallop has it so I call his all-in. He turns over pocket 9s and I river the straight.
I then have an insane run hitting full house after full house. I felted The Beast when I rivered a house beating his own weaker house. That's the real luck, he knew he was beat but it's one of those hands you can't lay down.
I'm then in a monster pot with another player. I raise it up with pocket Queens and get three callers. I flop a house when Q, 6, 6 comes out on the board. I check, another player checks and someone takes a stab for £40. The player to my right raises to £100 and I call. The original bettor folds as does the other original caller. The turn is a blank and the guy bets another £200. I call. On the river, it's a blank for both of the flush draws on the board and the player bets £200. I raise £400 and he calls with his trip 6s. MASSIVE POT.
And my luck goes on and on and on. In another big pot, a player flops a King with his Ace, King and pushes all his chips in. I call with pocket Kings!!!
I cash in £1550 up on my £150 original buy-in.
Not bad...
