tournaments won vs entered
is there a place where i can see how many wsop and wpt and other big events that a pro has entered (and the number of entrants in each event). my end goal is knowing how impressed i should be by chan/doyle having ten bracelets and phil having eleven considering that theyve entered like every tournament for the past 25-30 years.
this isnt that novel of an idea, so maybe you guys already have a thread on it, but doesnt it seem like if dozens of pros have been in every wsop tournament and wpt tournament for the last few decades (i know the wpt is only a few years old) that it would be statistically expected (like if it were a coin-flipping tournament) that a few of them would have about a dozen bracelets? maybe not--i dont know. thats why im hoping for some link to a study on how lucky (or skilled) you would have to be to win 11 bracelets if you entered 400 tournaments with a median of 100 entrants or whatever.
please dont hijack this into a discussion about how great phil is or how little or how much skill goes into winning wsop events.
