Who says you are the Best?
Sure you might be able to win more often at one particular venue (Pub, Club or Casino) but what makes you the best? I was always in the top four in our Pub Poker League for six years running and that is twenty four seasons. But I never considered myself to be the best player in my local, I was good but not the best player.
The funny thing is a player who thinks he is best will inevitably get shot down in flames by a better player, just like the gun-fighters in the old  Wild West, there is always someone better and faster.
Just like Phil Hellmuth and Phil Ivey, they have lost some big events in the past. In one particular game that comes to mind Hellmuth was in a heads up game with Tom Dwan and Tom raises with pocket eights, Phil responds with a 3X bet and Tom shoved all in, Phil calls with pocket Aces and gets river-ed when Tom hits Trips. It really does not matter who thinks they are a better player, what really matters is you can lose just as often as win.
7 games out of 10 is not enough to judge how good you are at poker, try winning 700 out of 1,000 or even more, and then tell us how good you are.
