And don't tell me "nine bracelets." First, "bracelets" are not synonymous with "poker skill." They're high-variance and come from a bastardized form of poker. Also, bracelets are an accumulated statistic, not a percentage statistic. That is, if you enter every WSoP event for fifteen years, you SHOULD have bracelets . Plus Phil's bracelets were easier to win than "current" bracelets due to smaller fields.

Does anyone here agree with this???

No.

First of all, he doesn't enter every event, he enters like 4 or 5. Second, there are a lot of players who participate longer than 15 years and don't have a single bracelet.

Okay thanks, that wasn't me, I feel genuinely vindicated, for once I wasn't responsible for some grammatic violation of the English language. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I'm sorry but he enters EVERY SINGLE EVENT and has done so for 15 years or more. Some events had under 15 entrants. I know this first hand.

Agreed. And if you make a few more posts, it'll probably be time for an avatar. It will make you even cooler.
