I honestly beleive I am hardly any good - All I have done is find a way to beat the average opponent, by logging 200,000 hands and developing a decent win rate. That does not make me a good player, just one that can beat the system based off odds and pyschology.

But, JD, that is *precisely* what being good at poker is. Don't get trapped into the TV-star mentality that the media frenzy about poker has created.
