Poker - A Game of Skill Proven By Poker Professionals

This present year millions have proven through statistical data, thanks to Pokerstars, that a players expertise in poker matter the most in the game.

But if you’re looking for more proof that the statement is true then you may want to see the results of the 2009 WSOP wherein the top poker players win events, not only one but more.

One famous player who won a number of bracelets was King of Stud Jeff Lisandro. He did not only conquer one tournament of Stud but a set of it including 7-Card-Stud, 7-Card-Stud-Hi/Lo and Razz.

But that feat is not a glitch because there are others who multiple events during the tournament. One would be Thang Luu, who managed to grab second place of the 2007 $2500 Omaha 8 tournament and conquering the same tournament in 2008 and he already defended the his title this year!

In view of the fact that the population of the tournaments have been sizing up every year it would be near unattainable for someone to win a poker tournament much lesser winning multiple ones not unless they have something that give them a great advantage against all the participants.

And the evidences don’t end with these two players because there are still a lot of them worth mentioning.

Phil Ivey who have gained his 6th and 7th bracelets. John Brock Parker who manage to triumph the 6-Max Limit and 6-Max No Limit tournaments. Roland de Wolfe who have achieve his triple crown with his win in this years WSOP. He already won the WPT, and EPT events in the past years. Ex-hockey player turned poker pro, Greg “fbt” Mueller won the $10k Limit Hold’ Em event and the Limit Hold ‘Em shootout. Barry Greenstein and Daniel Negreanu have both cashed in seven events.

All this happened before the Main Event- the most sought after tournament in poker-take place. A poker professional who has won in the WSOP events has built a kindly reputation of their own.

The 2009 WSOP is the year of the professional poker players no matter what the Main Event results will be. As soon as the poker war started you can lift your chin and say “On any given day, anyone can win.”

But don’t be misled by the top lot. They are willing to take on an amateur in their table. Let them assume that he’s an ordinary poker player and I get them by surprised.

So if you doubt that skill is a very important factor in playing poker, then you must look at the 2009 WSOP wherein you’ll see indisputable proof that poker is a game of skill.
