Default Re: Robert Varkonyi = Rodney Dangerfield

[ QUOTE ]
Varkonyi and Furlong were decent players who were outclassed at the WSOP, but go lucky. Fowler was a fish who got lucky.

Varkonyi won his seat in a satellite at Binions rather than on Poker Stars, so he is not used in the promotions.

I think you are transposing "Fowler" and "Furlong".

Fowler won in 78 or so, Furlong in 2000, and while Fulong is not considered a top player, it wasn't his first main event final table and he is considered a very good player.

As far as Varkonyi goes, he seems like a very nice, likeable down to earth nerd, which ain;t at all bad. He's just not much of a poker player.
