I study a website like this, then I watch poker on tv which has an array of TV stars, film stars etc

NOw without pre judging what these people do, it seems to me like they're winning pots but without having studied the real art of poker and by simply playing the "play with only big hand" game.

Can anyone give any thoughts on this?

In essence I'm saying that they don't look like they've really put anything into the game except for playing a lot, having inordinate amounts of money and playing a basic strategy...so what separates them from the pros aside from the obvious (that pros do it for a living)?
