Anyone listen to Phil Gordon's podcast? He was interviewing Sam Farha. Sammy was pimping his new Omaha book and came up with some interesting views. For example, he said that he doesn't know anyone who has gotten rich playing Hold'em, the reason being that it's such a simple game that nobody has a big enough edge. He knows Jamie Gold, Moneymaker, PA and sbrugby, so maybe it's about Sammy's definition of rich. He must have made billions playing Omaha.

[/ QUOTE ]so if i said "no one can get rich playing rock paper scissors because there's no edge" and i hold a 10,000 player, $10,000 buy in winner take all rock paper scissors tournament, my statement would be negated?

rock paper scissors is not only about luck

there have been studies about it
i think one result was, that most players use scissors the first time but after that they dont use it as often as the other two things
