Sometimes it is just fate. Poker is a good example. When you have 10 show downs in a row and are an 80:20 favorite ever single time but you lose it all, that's fate in my opinion. Even if you control yourself and keep playing a solid style, there is not much you can do. Luck is against you, which I would say equates to fate.
I disagree.
Poker is all about skills, mostly in bluff and counting the cards using probability to guess what your opponents has. Fate and luck doesn't equates at all, they are entirely different. If you lose in poker just because of bluffs, it means that you lack in guts and doesn't trust your intuition, luck is already helping you to win but it is you who is rejecting it.
