The only thing I disagree with is I know poker is about making the right decisions I believe luck does play some into it. Maybe with a little more practice and some further education I'll stop thinking this way but I feel I have the worst luck in the world. I' m going to keep reading my book The Illistarted Guide to No Limint Hold Em by Dennis Purdy and see if I can pick up a few more pointers. I still have a lot of problem with the Math in my head in such a short amount of time.
What hands you can play preflop and how you should play them depend a lot on position, who's behind you, who's already entered the pot, stack sizes, images, and reads. Luck is really a rediculous concept if you're a long term player. Obviously if you play 100 thousand hands at any level, you'll see the same situations over and over again. Making the right decisions will increase your winrate over a large sample size. Math done in the heat of the moment should be pot odds/implied odds. You can look over spoon's thread if you don't know how to estimate these quickly at http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ad-180192.html.
To find the EV of plays like calling an all in, you need to be able to put your opponet on a range of cards. If google and download pokerstove, you can put in your own cards, and your opponets range, and find the equity you have in the pot.
