Permormance Evaluation

[bec1972]

So say you played in a bunch of WSOP events, and by bunch I mean, as many as you possibly could where money was no object, including multiple tournies on same starting days as you got knocked out of one and went to the other. . . .

If you only cashed in 2 events, one event with a (sarcastic)staggering (/sarcastic) field of 200 and the other a shootout where getting to the final table merely meant winning your table twice. . . . .

How would you rate this year's performance?

This is, obviously, not me by the way. However I did play in an event this year, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Who is it then?

Obviously you'd have to rate that performance pretty poor.

Sample size too small to draw any significant/valuable conclusion.

To draw a conclusion about how THIS series went? (as the OP asked). I think you're off your rocker.

is this some way of judging mormons?

I'm assuming this is Daniel, and yeah I think he had a fairly disappointing series. No, that doesn't say anything about how good/bad he is.

The reality of tournament poker is that you can play perfectly over the course of the series and hardly cash (variance).

Check out Bond's posts: "six weeks live equivalent to three days online".

As described in the OP, you would be annoyed but it wouldn't mean you are a good or bad player. It is possible to run awful in that sample size.

It is pointless to try to draw a meaningful conclusion here.

The OP is quite clear in the way he presents his 'case'; he thinks the player in question sucked in the 2007 WSOP (and also at the Bellagio - like it is not obvious who he is writing about).

Weather the player is good or bad, the sample size is too small to draw any meaningful conclusion (other than bashing a fellow player...)

NH!

Nothing annoys me more than typo's in thread titles, and I was trying to come up with a witty way to punish the OP, but you beat me to it.

I do apologize for the typo, along those same lines I enjoyed the weather for "whether" in one of the replies.

I was not attempting to rate the players ability, but was just curious how many players would rate the results for this year's series.

Personally, I was SHOCKED at the results for this player, but I have never looked at a players entire year's results like this before. If nothing else it shows how much of a grind it is for these guys. And how impressive Hellmuth's accomplishment really is.

I purposely left the players identity off so people would not judge the "player" but the results. Obviously players can play below their ability level, and to judge his/her play one would have to almost be there sweating the player. This player has a proven track record and success that more than most would be proud to have, so there is no need, nor did I want anybody, to pile on him/her due to their personal opinion of him/her.

Again sorry for the original typo in the title, I did enjoy the "mormon" reply that was great.
