Default At what level are you a good player?

Someone asks you if you're a good poker player. You win at least 1 BB/hr online at $.50/$1. How do you answer?

What about $2/$4? $5/$10?

What is a good poker player?

If you win more money than you lose, you are a good poker player. And you're better than 92 percent of players out there.

Considering the vast majority of people can't beat any level...the answer too all of these should be yes, by any average person's definition.

Also, 1. e4 d6 has been my tournament staple as black, so I appreciate the OP's screen name. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I invariably reply to 1e4 with the Sicilian. My line usually tends towarrd Dragon, Najdorf, or Scheveningen.

As White, historically I've played 1e4 the most, and go into the Italian or Ruy Lopez. But recently I've been playing the English a lot.

I don't think I've ever played 1d4 as White in my life.

As Black vs 1d4, I use the King's Indian. Can get nasty, but when it works it's beautiful.
