| I am using Popopops hand history replayer, and I was wondering: what does the "luck factor" option tell me, and do I want to have a negative or a positive luck factor? |

| I think the luck factor is a measure of how you do relative to how you're expected to do. So, if you get your money in as a favorite most of the time, but are losing those hands to long shots, you'll have a negative luck factor. If you get your money in behind and suckout, you'll have a positive luck factor. |

OK, thanks. Two more questions:
What would a "fair" luck factor be if I, let`s say, am down 3 buy- ins, rarely hit flops, getting big hands cracked, getting coolered etc?
Usually, I find that my luck factor is ~0+ after a winning session, and ~-1+ after a losing one. Is the luck factor somehting that can be used to calculate ones abilities as a player? |

| Generally speaking, I would say that good players will experience more negative luck and bad players will experience more positive luck, since it's a measure of how often you get your money in behind. |
