The more you play, the more chance you have to win (and you will develop the basic skills).
chris moneymaker is a prime example of someone who got lucky in one tournament, but long-term, has done nothing. sorry, but i have to disagree with your premise.
he actually has had a big cash or 2 since then. do you know how much he plays? do you know where he plays? do you know what all of his results are?
i've seen him play on poker superstars and gsn (battle of the sexes against other pros); enough to know that he is not as good as other players. he got busted out on gsn and did not make the playoff round on pokersuperstars.
since you are asking for specifics, what were the big cash or 2 that he won since wsop?
