Several Hotshots Supposedly Broke Or In Debt
Won't name names and I might be wrong about some of them, but it does include players who made millions off Andy Beal, Guy, from Cique du Soleil and other rich amateurs.
But the bottom line is that most of these "stars" (I can't name the exceptions either because that would narrow things down too much) are simply among a group of the top fifty or hundred players. Actually many aren't even quite that good except in multiple games, an area that most smaller players have no reason to try to get excel at. In other words, except for two or three possible exceptions, I contend that the super high successful players are no better than the best of the 300-600 limit players or the 50-100 NLH or PLO players. They got lucky, were in the right place at the right time, or they were good at all games but masters at none. Nothing to waste your adulation on. |

Doyle Brunson said something to that exact same effect somewhere.

i contend david sklansky is no more intelligent than a common third rate college mathematics teacher. he simply got lucky that he got laid even less (despite his enormous peen obv) than them, and therefore studied extra hard in mathematics and also developed the delicate super-ego we have all come to know and love.

Re: Several Hotshots Supposedly Broke Or In Debt
David,
Are you including things like game selection and tilt avoidance in your definition of poker skill? I'd certainly agree that you start to run up against diminishing returns on technical acumen in a game like limit hold 'em pretty quickly, but that's not all there is to succeeding at the highest stakes. |
