Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 1067557, member: 26306"] Yes I do occaisionally watch Railhaven. umm what? When Albert Pujols goes 0-4 one game do people all of a sudden question if all the HRs and hits were just luck and his good streak's done? He has years of positive results and then 2 weeks he slumps and you're ready to say he was just a luckbox the entire time? Side games take more skill, and pay more money, than the tourneys do. And lol at average player. He's beating the highest games on the internet for a higher winrate than you have at whatever stakes you're playing. Well other than Ziig, who is actually a losing player according to the online databases, the other two are both amazing and I would say you were full of shit if you called them average players too. Phil Galfond is the player Dwan exempted from the challenge. Obviously he has a ton of respect for him and so does pretty much everyone. David B is also a phenomenal poker player. If you throw in Ivey you probably have the top few online players period. What ranking system do you use that has him not in the top 10? He's got an edge playing at basically the higihest stakes game that runs on the internet. He's sometimes sitting with 5 other people that are probably in the top 10. Granted he takes some from people like Laliberte, but he is literally CRUSHING the biggest game that runs. Again, I doubt you beat 50nl for that winrate. I know I'm not winning at that rate and I'm not playing some of the best players online. lol it's not love. Like I said I'd defend people like Benyamine, Ivey, Galfond, etc. They all are amazing players and it's not like durrrr just came on the scene last month. He's been around for awhile and he even mentioned on PAD about a 2M downswing he had before. The guy knows that it's possible to lose but he also over the long run has shown to be able to crush the game. To call him average is like calling Michael Jordan average because he only scored 10 points one game when his team lost. [/QUOTE]
