They never told us what Tony did. They never said how much he won. I do know since he got with the wpt he has bricked every thing in site
There are few players (very few) u will see still beating mtss in 10 years if they are now
Guys who beat them and quit like u suggest dunst did arent pros IMO. They are lucksacks. They made money and George would be one of the first to win and collect a profit and get out.
BUT he is trying to live up to the MMT WIZARD he is not. Maaybe he just plays them for fun but from what I see he just keeps going down
Less than 10 people will beat MTTS from 5 years past till 10 years forward unless they stop playing
Tournaments aren't all luck like you are making them sound. Their are certain skill sets that people need to have to repeatedly put themselves in the position to go deep. Of course their is heavy variance and you will need some run good but that is part of all forms of poker.
George Dunst actually wrote up a series of blogs years ago called "Things it took me a long time to learn" which was well respected in the MTT community. A lot of that shit is way out of date today but it was a great write up in it's time.
People could tell you limit holdem is a joke game as well compared to NL but fact is whether you win at mtts, limit, no limit, or fucking razz (dumbest game ever) then it shouldn't matter. Whether Tony can win or not anymore is certainly debatable but you can't just go off a small sample of live mtt's he's played over the past few years.
It's common knowledge only a few handful of people are going to make it long term playing strictly live MTTs which is why online is so much better being able to play several at once.
I don't even care much for Tony either but just saying he did some stuff right to get where he is and it wasn't all luck.
