Re: The Winning Player - Let\'s Define Him
[ QUOTE ]
I hate to be the fly in the ointment here, but long-term, the *only* measure of a winning player is results. In the final analysis, the only relevant stat is the + sign at the bottom of the ledger.

There is something in what you say. A player who knows how to play winning poker, but frequently tilts or has poor game selection might not be a winning player.
On the other hand, many players don't play very much. Someone who plays 1 table 2 hours per week, for a total of 6000 hands at the end of the year, might have won 1 BB/100, but might have a 95% confidence interval of 1+-4 BB/100. I would not put such a player in the same category as someone who is ahead of even by 4 or more standard deviations.
