With your belief in the primacy of planning over luck, I must say that I hope to play poker with you some day soon.

Poker is a bit like NASCAR. You can set yourself up to win but you are ALWAYS subject to the cruel whims of luck. You cannot ever have everything it takes to win because luck is a major factor. You can do everything right and still lose.

Of course if you do everything wrong you will lose too. The best you can do is up your odds of success.

That, IMO, is a good description of life, and a good description of war.
