It's like saying the person who win the WSOP is the best tourney player for that year.... Oh wait

The point of playing poker is winning money.

The person who was won most is the best player of the year. (Scratch that, maybe give it to the person with the highest ROI)

I know for a fact one recent award winner had a losing year when he won a gong for best player.

Perhaps he could show the bank manager his trophy when he's asking to extend his overdraft facility.

When you break it down the point of poker is to make the correct decision. Doesn't always follow that the best has all the money and vice versa

Calling spin and goes "poker" is a bit of a stretch.

So the best tournament player would be someone who binks a few freerolls and $1 MTTs and has a huge ROI, over someone who crushes high stakes MTTs consistently for 20% ROI?

I understand your point about social media awards being stupid, but you can't call the Jamie Gold the best tournament player of that year because he's won the most money, nor can you says it's the aforementioned freeroll and $1 MTT crusher because he has the highest ROI.

So you just made those comments to get a reaction you don't actually believe them?

Of course I believe them.

Obviously you are taking my comments to an extreme.

I don't think Jamie Gold is a better tournament player than Moorman or Dan Whatshisname is better at cash games than Jungleman.

But the whole thing is a huge circlewank and completely and utterly pointless.

It's comments like these that make not wanna bother posting anymore. Discourages debate when someone comes along and basically says someone was pissing about. Leads to less threads/replies and ultimately "blonde is dying" chatter

For avoidance of doubt George, I was not trolling.

I geniunely believe Poker Awards and the Poker Hall of Fame are a complete waste of time.
