This argument is not sound because MLB teams compete against other teams in their general skill range. What would the win rate of a professional or collge baseball team be if they compteted against a local softball team and took it seriously?

And what would be the win rate if Phil Ivey played heads up poker against my 5-year old niece?

Worse. What would be the win rate if Phil Ivey played heads up poker against my trained chimp who knows only one move: pre-flop all-in?
Do you think Phil Ivey will win more matches than the professional baseball team?

You have a trained chimp? cool. And I take it from your comments that it can beat you. Guess thats why you cannot accept poker is skill. The skilled player will come out on top over an extended run.

What's your chimp's name? And when did you marry it?
