His WSOP bracelets come from a tiny sample size. He also won most of them before the poker boom. Poker has changed a lot and improved a lot. Just while I was watching the live stream he made a bunch of inexcusable mistakes which he got away with. Looking purely at his results is being results orientated - you wouldn't say "well he won the pot so he must have played it good" so why are you looking at his tournament wins and saying that he must have played well in them too? He's played less than 1,000 WSOP events and won 13 of them - even if he's the best player in the world he's still on a heater. It's a classic example of 'fooled by randomness'.

His stats mean nothing when he makes so many massive mistakes. I'm not saying that he's not won the most bracelets or had the most cashes. I'm also not saying that some of the stuff he does might not work really well. But there's a massive amount of luck involved in his success too, and I really struggle to see how you can't see that. Saying "his results over such a long period" means you're looking too much at the length of period instead of the actual sample - which is tiny. There are many, many better players out there than him who just run a lot worse.
