The Greatest Ever Achievement in Poker
 

I don't want to jinx Raymer, but I thought I stick this poll out.

How do people with so little patience win at poker?

Can't you wait until you know what Greg has actually done before making a poll?

Hmmm.... it would take a heck of a lot to beat Ungar's comeback repeat, although I hope to goodness that Greg takes this.

Yeah, exactly. I don't care if they were smaller fields, it's about more than how many people you beat out. If I ran a 100,000 player tournament tomorrow, winning it would not be the greatest poker achievement ever.

This reminds me of watching the other World Series, the baseball one. Every time there's 2 good games in a row, the announcers start asking "could this be the greatest World Series ever????"

Chan also had at least one Legends of Poker wins in between there too. And that was the number #2 tournament at that time.

And this is why we didn't say his win last year was the greatest accomplishment ever.
