Default Re: Daniel N. lacks pure poker skills?

Simple truth is that winning or losing mostly changes the perception of people. This board is no different and even thinkers of the game often fall prey for it. I always see the 'current' big time online winner hailed as a demi-god on these board, while the big winner from a few months ago is mostly forgotten and sometimes bad-mouthed.

The simple truth is that in a tough game there is many marginal situations, and in marginal situations there is often a very thin line between looking like a genius and looking like a moron.
