The winning player wins. Done. That is all. If I am an absolute fish, play once, win and never play poker again, I am a "winning player". I am not a "good player". Thing is, in reality the fish is going to play again. And the longer he plays, the closer his results will match his skill level. By skills I include all elements that create a player that has an advantage. Mathematical, reads, table selection, emotional control etc.

Let us say I have no sense of the math in poker yet I am a telepath and know what everyones cards are. I have an advantage over the table. let us say I am a robot that never makes a mathematical mistake using hand distributions and pot/implied odds. I have an advantage over most tables. This makes me a "good player". But only that combined with time will make me a "winning player"
