    not if you aim low enough.
   stop trying to beat the best and concentrate on beating the worst.
   in horse racing i have to beat the average consensus plus a rake. in poker i can choose my opponents. huge advantage.
    it's like betting in a wagering pool where good players are excluded.
    it isn't clever. but it requires an egoless evaluation of your own skills and a willingness to walk away from better players.
