didnt we just read a story of you handing out a 9/2 out draw and scooping a massive pot, before scuttling away with the money?

you have to be able to take the beats as well as hand them out
if I know for a fact you have A,A I am more likely to win with 5,7 suited than QQ.

Thats right yep, But Its like most other things, theres millions of poker players out there, so someone is bound to be the most successful..
I think the WSOP is open to anyone? So anyone from a rich background can enter, and if they do half decently (which in a game with so much luck involed is more than possible) they are considered 'professionals' just because they are there! and have a Decent stack!

boom
2 hour levels
starting with 10,000 chips
blinds
10/20 i think
deep stack poker is more skillful but with 8000+ players it's still a bit of a lottery. with a field that large which does include the best players in the world, it can't be won by a complete mug but there's no guarentee it'll be won by a top player either.

The pros consistently do far better in these tournaments than the average Joe. I disagree that its only open to people from rich backgrounds. Both sites I play at offer freeroles to gain entery to the WSOP, and various stages to suit all budgets.
I have a friend going to one of the events at the WSOP ($2k) and he is not from a rich background. He has just made a lot of money playing the game. Anyone who thinks its luck is a player who has not fully grasped the concept of poker. Ok people get sucked out on but you wont often find top players ever going all in pre flop with anything less that the top 3/4 permium hands.
During varioust SNG's and MMT's its routinely the same people I see at the final tables.
