I deleted the part with people hate to blame it on their lack of skill, so let's say semi-sarcastic. Still the whole idea isn't that far off. If you look a huge sample, you will probably find some extreme cases. It should be possible to be a winning player for 40 years by sheer luck. If we look at the millions of poker players, we might even be able to spot that guy.

I saw him last year at the WSOP. His name is Jamie Gold.
