 money maker and superstars 2
well obviously money maker was extremely lucky to win. but of course luck comes in all forms. he did suck out to win a lot of chips as shown in one of the hands on tv and he makes pretty bad risky plays but gets away with them headsup against sam farha. but to win sucha big event u have to combine skill with luck and in his case he got his luck when he needed it and used it luck when he needed it . Look at craig raymer and all of his lucky flops and hands but he played them right and u didnt really see any suckouts . he did make some decent calls and got extremely lucky by cracking aces but thats poker and he also had tons of luck. but as i said u gotta have a ton of luck to win such a big event.
and Poker superstars 2 and the many tourneys they hold really does show how skillful they are although they dont play much flops. i think the first series showed more plays on the flop and yea i do think they should slow down the blinds a little but either way the series just shows their great decision making  |
