So cards come out randomly, there is a statistical way they should come out, but it is totaly random. Hence why poker is considered gambling, so the only way to be the best player is to win, so Mr Borgo, how many wins u got? Have ever won a season?
I kinda disagree with this even though its supporting me kind of, winning dosent make you a perfect player. Playing your hands correctly and realizing when you are behind and being able to fold is.

I concider Daniel Negranu a very very good player for the reason that he can lay down real big hands when he thinks he is behind. There are many hands where he will have a nut straight to river and be able to fold the hand when he absolutley knows he is behind.

as for Mr Hellmuth, Phil is a great player I dont think anyone can deny that and as one pro once said he plays better against bad players then good players. I do not think he is the best tourney player but he is very very good one. Over last 2 years in main event he has gotten kinda coolored though.

before I can say im playing perfect poker I need months after months of consistant results not just one (no offense) small NDN league win. In about 4 months I will tell you if im playing good poker or not right now.


seriously telling me you won 2 ndn leagues really dosent impress me in the least, now if you sent me all your tourneys for last year and they were consistant I would. Or if you just played for like 4 months on stars and I saw some great consistancy on thepokerdb I might be impressed. Or if you had a great showing in world series of online poker which is starting soon I would be impressed. Think ive made my side pretty clear so not really much to add.
