Lucky Players???

I just read an excellent quote (in Sklansky's "Theory Of Poker") from Bobby Baldwin... I felt I needed to post this since lately there has been a rash of what some friends of mine have been calling "luck" at the home game that I play in. I keep telling them there is no such thing as luck!! Read on...

"I've heard good players complain to me about how they get drawn out on all the time but if they want to better their game and better their emotional state while playing, they should realize it's a mirage. If you are an excellent player, people are going to draw out on you a lot more than you're going to draw out on them because they're simply going to have the worst hand against you a lot more times than you have the worst hand against them. There's no way you're going to draw out on anybody if you don't get all your money in there on the worst hand."
~Bobby Baldwin after being knocked out of the 1981 WSOP by 2 different bad beats that were 21 to 1 dogs against his hand.
