Default Re: Robert Varkonyi = Rodney Dangerfield

[ QUOTE ]
I disagree with a lot of you on Varkonyi.

[/ QUOTE ]

What exactly is it that I said that you are disagreeing with? I said

1. He's an amateur (hard to argue with that; he wasn't playing poker for a living at the time he won, so he was by definition an amatuer)

2. who got lucky (and he did get lucky, as does everyone who wins one of these things at some point, and you even admit that)

3. and truly gets no respect (I'll use your words to back this up: [ QUOTE ]
he isn't all that great of a player

[/ QUOTE ] ).

I said nothing about whether he deserves any respect, nothing denigrating his play and nothing singling him out as having been the only person that ever got lucky to win.
