I practiced poker around 2010.

> In poker sometimes you make a bet and you win, but it turns out it was a very bad bet and you got lucky.

What I did was simply simulate variations on the scenario that I lucked out at or had an amazing bad beat. The moment you start to pick 20 variations, you can see quite clearly whether you made the right decision. This is especially the case when it's a bad beat or you lucking out extremely.
