they worked hard posting hands and talking about poker theory and worked out the maths for various situations when away from the tables and reveiwed their hands post session. . They didn't make wooly catch all threads about what makes a great player....
It's Phil Galfond.
Maybe most players think the pros are all great players, and don't look at some players at lower levels. I have come in contact with very good players at low levels, and everyone of them have one thing in common. They have patience. That is something I try to have but sometimes when the cards are not falling my way I try to make something happen and every time I pay for it. So when I see a player at a table folding every hand for awhile, I know they are good and I watch out when they call or raise a pot.
I think that a poker player can be considered great when we wins big tournaments (live or online) and he is constantly ITM (in the Money) and increases is bankroll.Quote:
