Re: Not!
My understanding is certainly not flawed. Results mean nothing?? What a load of garbage. If you play in 1000 tournaments each consisting of 20 players and dont win one, your play is certainly not very good (with confidence level >99%) Results DO matter. Maybe not for one tournament at a time, but over the long run, if you are a better player, you will win more than a bad player. Agreed? So while this one tournament IN ISOLATION may not mean much, neither did the 97 Masters. And yet if tiger took that view every year, that THIS YEAR IN ISOLATION doesnt mean much, and didnt play, how many Green jackets would he have won, Greg? If you consistently view each tournament as a one off, you wont see the big picture. For some reason you think that winning the WSOP means that you know what you are talking about. Its astounding that you dont.
And the idea that poker is completely different from other sports/games with regard to luck is wrong. Lets consider golf. Sometimes a pro can put VERY well all day and consistently shave the hole. Other days he puts well and they go in - luck.
