I started off that article apprehensive because I thought it was going to be about another high skill player cursing his luck when a low player wins the pot on a fluke. It actually turned out to be pretty good though even though I consider myself a mid player who plays recreationally, and happens to fit the definition given in the article close enough.
Helmuth is a shining example of why I was apprehensive to this article. A great poker player who I hate so much. I know he does that at least partially on purpose, but even when he's completely out of a tournament and he continues to cry, it rubs me the wrong way. Welcome to poker. If you were interested in 100% skill, maybe should have taken up chess.
