How Lucky Do You Think You Are At Poker?

[sjay2k]

Say 0 - 100th percentile of all players.

35.

But I know everything thinks they're unlucky, so I'm probably just a donk.

47%

This is a tough question.

My honest answer is in the 48-49% neighborhood (it feels much worse), but then I look back at sattying into the WSOP, Aruba, Bahamas (not as impressive - bigger buy in), making two WSOP Final Tables, and so on and so forth.... yeah, it's been a while, but each of those was a huge hit where I didn't necessarily get lucky, but I didn't get unlucky - and that's lucky. I think those few incidents alone probably swing me above 50%. So I'll revise and go with:

52%

Even though it feels like 42-45%.

[JDMcNugent7]

65% to start out and when I didn't know what I was doing
this year like 22% seriously, biggest downswing of my life by far this whole year losing every big pot somehow

[lightfungus]

JD, I am a big fan, and I know how hard you work (much harder than I). But that makes me feel better...honestly.

Just out of cuiriousity, who would everyone put in the 90th percentile and above? Gold? Moneymaker?

[Kurn]

Gold and Moneymaker the luckiest? No way. Jerry Yang is the man.

I'm not sure what I said when i first answered this question, but probably 55-60% lifetime. Ive made a decent amount and still really don't know wtf I'm doing A LOT of the time.
