You know, I did this over the past summer. And, well, it's not the same because, as it has been pointed out many many times before...you can play great poker over any amount of time and still be a losing poker player.

The amount of variance between poker and golf is any magnitude greater. If you practice and get better at golf, the bad bounce your ball takes on some random drive will not affect you as much. However, no matter how much you practice poker, it will never be able to overcome the dream flop when you get stuck with the underset.

You can't take a 3-iron and punch back out in to the fairway if you flop the second best fullhouse.

There's too much chance involved. There's too much opportunity to be a bad poker player and win while also the possiblity of being a good poker player and losing.
