A lot of it involves reading the other players at the table — do they play conservatively, or fairly loose? Over time, if you play with someone long enough, you can build up a profile of them, and that helps to inform when you should and should not make bets.

Some games, like roulette , have virtually no flexibility. There is nothing you can do that will modify the EV. Craps has a bit more flexibility in that you can adjust the bets you make to reduce the house edge.
Opening a small business has huge flexibility and the business acumen of the proprietor is critical in determining the outcome. This is why the legal establishment regards such "games" as lying outside the standard prohibitions that many have against gambling. In fact, most of the enterprises that people engage in that are marked by high flexibility are virtually never thought of as "gambling" -- but from this pragmatic stance they are.
And so it is with poker. The game is pretty far out there on the "flexibility" dimension. First, the stakes being played for are critical.

Because winning bolsters confidence and increases your aggressiveness. This has been studied by psychologists, even in sports players.

It's true that as the number of hands dealt increases, the luck element shrinks - but it doesn't go away. In fact, it continues to play a role. From every poker position under all possible circumstances.
