I've got to admit, the quick success that Ben has achieved has just pissed me off. But you know what, it turns out he's friggin good. You and Annie can play semantics all day, but the fact of the matter is he's a good poker player. "lmao" all you want, she's got a good point and any argument you have just tries to split hairs. bwana

He wants to zero in on her use of the phrase world class. Big deal, she is saying he is a good player. How she might define it in her book as opposed to how someone else would is just nit picking. But I think a player that in her own right is "world class" and plays againist others at the level regularly would be a better judge of a players ability and ranking then somebody who gets to watch them on TV.

He has become world class. He won the California State Championship which is a 10k buy-in NL event. I would call that world class. [/ QUOTE ] This absolutely doesnt provide prove that he's world class. You should know that. Whether he's world class or not; i dont care. But to say he's world class based on winning one event is just absurd.

Re: lmao at Annie Duke
You have no idea how many hours he has played, how many hours of lessons he has had, how smart he is or how dedicated to the game he is so I think you cannot make this statement.
What about Scott Fischman who has only been playing a while? He is a world class player. Don't underestimate how far talent and dedication can get you in this game and how quickly it can get you there.

Re: lmao at Annie Duke
Would you say Ted Lawson is a world class player? He also has won a tour event. If Affleck begins cashing at the same rate as some of the other "World Class Players", I will also believe he is one.
