Default Who is the smarter poker player, Player A or Player B?

Both Players have Full Time jobs, play at brick and mortar tournaments with no more than a $50.00 Buy In generally with an average of 30-50 Players.

Player A - Plays to Cash (Passive) and ends up doing so in more tourneys and returns a profit over the course of a year but never wins one.

Player B - Plays to Win (Aggressive) and ends up doing so in about 1 tourney out of every 10 or so but is in the negative at the end of the year.

I look forward to your responses. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

My feelings exactly. How is it mathematically possible to win 1/10 of your MTT's over a year and have a negative ROI?

neither. because they're playing low stakes live tournaments. and listening to overweight middle aged men explain their horribly flawed poker strategy, in between incredibly graphic descriptions of the anatomy of any woman who happens to come into view and idiotic discussions of sports, makes me want to kill myself.
