How good a poker player was Johnny Moss?

[/ QUOTE ]

He picked a good game with a noob greek gambler.

If he were alive, would he be able to hold his own in a debate on poker strategy with Ed Miller?

[/ QUOTE ]

No. He'd be busy taking another noob's money.

Being a legend doesn't make you good at poker.
