nope, the pros are pros for a reason. you just only get glimpses of it on tv.
for instance, there's a hand on youtube where phil hellmuth makes a flush on the river in a hand where tom dwan has been slowplaying a boat. hellmuth makes an impossible laydown on the river. i bet at least 3/4 of us FTR regulars would have shipped dwan our chips.
there was a hand in the WSOP in which mike sexton sniffed out a matusow bluff on 2 streets and calls him down with a pair of 3's on a wet board.
i suspect TV producers prefer suckouts and hellmuth blowups to well played hands, but every once in awhile you get a taste of what big time poker is all about.
BTW the best show for seeing pros playing well is GSN's high stakes poker
