There is one more problem i think - money. If a "good player" playing for guaranteed win - he plays with low skilled players that mostly play with little bets and don`t want to loose big money.

What about tournaments? There's a buy-in which you have to pay whether you want it or not. I agree with you regarding cash games though.

Yes, tournaments mostly brings more money, and you can choose your level with choosing buy-in size. But the same time leveling-up profit level, your opponents skills growing up too. Not always, but mostly.

In this situation a "good player" spent too much time for wining too small money. And playing in the tournament with good money he is playing against the same "good players" without guarantee to win.

Your win is never guaranteed, ever, you know this, right? Wink

As of what poker player can be called a "good player" there's no consensus on this matter, but imo a good player is someone who can outplay most of the great players from the past, because they were not evolving during the past years, and thus have got their strategies outdated.

Of course you have no guarantee playing poker. But when skill level really differs - more skilled player have the great chance to win.
Outdated strategy may be interesting if the new player don`t know it. But i can`t say how true is it. I have to google some such games/tournaments firstly.
