Criticizing The Pros TV play

[EL Burro Loco]

I know it's a lot of fun and all, but i feel like people are overly critical of a pros overall abilities after watching a few tv hands. After all, like any competition people make mistakes. I have seen pro basketball players miss dunks or easy shots and passes, baseball players drop routine flys, hell one the greatest chess player in the world right now Victor Kramnov lost to a computer recently when he missed the easiest one move checkmate that even the lowest rated player would have seen (the blunder of the century it hath been dubbed.) Even a professional botches hands.

Also, it made me a lot more confident in my poker game to see pros making some silly mistakes or occasionally chasing.
Even some of the best play badly at times.

Ok I said my bit... flame away.
