Re: Tom McEvoy
Try not to take this place too seriously, either.
This place is no different than any other DB in that there is a huge Lemming Factor. Witness the 8000 Alizee icons sprouting up. If Ed Miller uses Phyllis Diller as his icon next week and posts what a babe she is, half the board will have Phyllis Diller icons within 24 hours, and there will be dozens of polls proving she's the sexiest chick over 70. The same goes for who is not liked ("Who do we hate this week, again?")
Most members here--myself included--haven't been around poker long enough to know anyone prior to Varkonyi, aside from the "legends".
Anyway... I think either Daugherty or Fowler (I could be way off) is generally considered by poker pros/historians to be the most overrated and/or luckiest winner. Personally, I think Varkonyi gets a bad rap just because he's a total geek.
