Spin off from something TP and Brian talked about in another thread

[2Tone]

In Jesse May’s great novel (a must read!), the narrator goes through an interesting discussion of the challenges of trying to figure out who the ‘best’ player is. He provides a few different examples:
A championship stud player who has to switch games because all the money is in hold ‘em these days …

A gifted, consistent winner at the poker tables who can’t stay out of the pit, and hence is often broke, having blown his winnings at craps …

A solid but unspectacular grinder with a small but steady monthly profit.

Any of who you could make a case for, with no right answer.
