Kind of a different thread...nice. Trying to rate people by skill is a little funny. So many aspects of "skill". Cash, MTT, SNG, Stud, Omaha, hand reading, tilt control, money management, etc. etc. I know many above average to good tournament players who are terrible at cash. "Skill" can change so quickly in poker. It's a mental game. You can sit down for a few hours a week and plug a few leaks and quickly improve your level...except you may not see results right away. The Blazer poker player today would run circles around the Blazer even just 6 months ago. Not many put in the work and are capable of improving though. We just go through the motions calling others donks and blaming variance and rigged software for our failures. That's why there's still $ in poker. I believe it was our old friend Doyle Brunson who said, men think they know everything about women, cars, and poker. You can't teach them anything different about them.
