Okay, I'm sorry, you're right and I'm confused and silly.

Why is BNLHP not like Phil Ivey?

Why would he need to be?

If the game is dominated by luck, then you or I would have just as much chance to win vs. Ivey. For example, if it were you against Ivey in Slot Machines or Roulette, then there's no predictor of who will win. It should be the same way IF (KEY WORD) poker is dominated by luck.

A second reason would be that if someone with skill like Ivey beat Ivey, it would prove nothing (on either side). But, if an average unknown with no extra special abilities (someone that 'could' beat Ivey in Roulette for example) would win against him in this game, I would think it would show the game is mostly dominated by luck.
