Fluffdog87 2 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Least Skillful WSOP ME Champ?No knocks on the players. Some players are just better than others. Most consider these guys as being very lucky in their wins. Who do you consider the weakest player?Most would rate these in their top 5. Link to post Share on other sites
7s7c 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I can find some redeeming things about most of them except Varkonyi really....at least Yang and Gold applied pressure and Moneymaker kinda gets a bad rap. Link to post Share on other sites

therescav 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I don't know much (read: Nothing) about Hal Fowler, but just through logic- in 1979 there was a much smaller field consisting of mostly pro poker players. Would that not mean that a lot more skill is involved; there are few to no fish in the field?I understand Jamie Gold is considered by many to be a lucky donk, but his style is basically a chip up or get the hell out style. Gold is either at the top of the pack or outta the tournament; and the world series worked out for him in '06 because he was significantly agressive.I wouldn't vote Moneymaker cause for some reason when I saw his heads up match with Farha I liked the way he played it; sure he probly got crazy lucky along the way; but I think he has more skill than a lot of players. He played at a time when still the WSOP was not brimming with fish, and as a result he had to best a lot of pros.Yang I would almost imply similiarly to Gold, except he went into the final table without a chip lead. He pretty much owned that whole final table; never looked back. Sure his heads up opponent was shonky, but for how he played the final table; gotta have some skill.Nope, my vote is with Varkonyi. The guy just never knew what he was doing. His results since have further indicated how much of a luckbox he was in 2002. Link to post Share on other sites

rog 0 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Fowler's not recent. I dont know much about Varkonyi. His win is before I really started following poker. That left me with Money FTW. Jamie Gold is a Donk compared to Cunningham and Wasicka, but as much as I hate him and WANT to pick him, I think he's the best of the bad bunch in this poll. Link to post Share on other sites
