Regardless of if he is good or not a lot of people would benefit from looking into some good online players sample sizes to get an understanding on just how easy it is for good people to go on huge downswings and bad/breakeven players to go on huge upswings. Obviously smaller sample sizes are required live but its insane how much people use results as an excuse/explanation for a lot of people when almost everyone has a sample size of less than a thousand tournaments.
Great point.I have huge respect for him.Fair play to him livn the dream....But he didnt build it from poker.He was well off and entered a lot of tounrys and within a year has had success..
Compare that to the genius;s online who crush online tournys created a living from poker and havnt had the big score live yet.
Sample size i huge.He is obviously a decent player but he isnt a pro poker players.He plays poker and has success early on but with his skill icant see it lasting too long.
