Maybe not for one tournament at a time

Umm..I think that pretty much proves Greg's point.

if you are a better player, you will win more than a bad player

Unless you are entering tournaments and games which are above your means, with a $10M bankroll a 50K tournament might not be a big deal, but you have no idea what kind of bankroll Greg has.

If you consistently view each tournament as a one off, you wont see the big picture.

Funny, every 10K tournament that I have attended in the last year or so has had Greg playing, obviously he is not viewing EACH tournament as a one-off.

For some reason you think that winning the WSOP means that you know what you are talking about.

Beating 2500 players over 8 days means something, its not like winning a smallish two day tournament. Greg said that he has entered the WSOP ME several times previous, this is not a Moneymaker situation.

And the idea that poker is completely different from other sports/games with regard to luck is wrong.

Lets assume for a second that Phil Ivey is the best poker player in the world and that Tiger Woods is the best golfer. At the absoulte peak of both their games, Woods destroys the competition with regularity, Ivey certainly does not, this is due to luck. If you have a single table sit and go with Ivey and nine random players, he might win 4 out of 10. Woods in the same situation against nine random golfers would almost assuredly beat all nine other players every time.
