Skalnsky\'s system said it was, relied upon early capital accumulation
"One could argue that part of being world-class is knowing how to manipulate such lunatics once they've amassed a larger stack, and some world-class players are better at it than others.'
The amassing of capital in inefficient hands is generally corrected by the market, as better capitalists acquire the capital, i.e "chips", from less effective capitaists.
On the other hand, maybe No Limit Tournament play is NOT rocket science, and a player of moderate skill can acquire early sufficient capital to overwhelm the "greater skill" of a more thinly capitalized opponent in later stages. (This was the basis of Sklansky's system of a couple of years ago.)
Correspondingly, as many "Name" pros are now capitalized by sites such as FTP, isn't it possible that you see/hear about some "Name" pros ONLY because they are widely marketed and placed into more tourneys to begin with. On their own, how many would drop from sight versus the un-subsidized, un-marketed so-called donk winners of large MTTS ?
Who makes more money in commerce: the talented but undercapitalized independent movie concept or High School Musical/Disney ?
