Where do you rate winning the WSOP?

[Poker Jon]

Hey all,

Haven't posted for ages, but just wanted to find out where the poker playing fraternity rated Hachem's feat of defeating 5,619 people willing to part with $10,000 and sit for 7 days playing poker - to me it is a pretty mean feat!

However, where do we rate it among other sporting accomplishments??

FWIW - Lance Armstrong takes it for me at the moment, although Niclaus is close for prolonged superiority!

[ononimo]

you're asking where we rate the winner of a single championship event against several sporting icons who have each established long track records of winning at the highest level possible?

um, let me get back to you on that one.

Is this sarcasm? If not, I don't understand.

If we're picking a basketball player...The Celtics Bill Russell won 11 titles in his 13 seasons. That, for me, would've surpassed even Lance Armstrong.

This is the stupidest poll ever.

Poker is not a sport.

My vote goes to Kasparov.
