All will be lucky as normal, handling trouble with reduced pot (5,3,3,3,3)

I believe the answer is:

every dog has his day

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reduced pot' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'all will be lucky as normal handling trouble' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'all' could be 'every' (similar in meaning) and 'every' is found in the answer.
'as' is within the answer.
'trouble' could be 'dog' (to be dogged by something is to be troubled by it) and 'dog' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for every dog has his day that I've seen before include "There are six different setters Mon to Sat?" , "Each of us can achieve momentary glory!" .)
