Why a Raymer victory could be good for poker...

[Uglyowl]

I think a Fossilman victory would be good for poker since it shows that winning is more than luck.

How many players play poker due to the luck factor? Most people play cards since they think they are smarter than average.

People who want everything determined by luck play slots. People who want a game of skill play poker.

If poker is seen more of a game of skill maybe more people out there would give it a shot? Some people are against gambling, but if this is seen as more than that, then maybe it will increase the player base.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but thought my line of reasoning is a good one.
