I gotta agree. Well, kinda. The fact is that you can't win a WSOP main event with just dumb luck, but I really don't consider a great player. He has to have some skill (and ridiculous luck), but he is nowhere near the level of skill of the top pros.

Moneymaker wasnt a terrible player. He was bad but not terrible. He couldnt have won the wsop without having some skill. ITs just that the luck did put him over the edge in my opinion. Ive never seen him on stars and you rarely see him on any of the televised events anymore.

He had lucky that trny but now he is still playing at pokerstars sometimes

I think he actually admitted himself in the WSOP HORSE program last time that he's not as good a player as others, but just trying to make the best of it. To me he just looks like a nice guy and without luck I don't anyone would win in poker, lol!

moneymaker is pretty much a bad player who got lucky

I don't think Chris Moneymaker is [i]that[i] bad of a player. He satellited his way into the WSOP ME, came out of no where, caught himself an above average run of cards and won it.
He was never a professional before that. He was just a home game hero. He never really claimed to be a professional either.
You kind of have no choice after you win the ME, for tax reasons alone, you are now a professional gambler.
With all the Moneymaker bashing that goes on, we should step back and take a look at what he has done for the game.
I remember flipping through the channels one day and found the WSOP on. Some no name guy won the entire main event.
Since then I started playing online and started a regular home game. I guess I kinda owe him one, in a sense.

He cashed in a couple tourneys after the 2003 main event but hes gotta be broke by now
