    One of the best ways to avoid the Peter Principle is to watch games at higher stakes and try and spot mistakes being made. At a certain limit, you will either be unable to spot mistakes, or will start seeing plays that you think are mistakes, but are actually probably just moves at a level way above your head (a great example of this is the recent 'durrr' vs 'Isildur1' match, where 99% of the criticism of 'mistakes' in individual hands on forums or news sites is meaningless, as only about ten people in the world think at a high enough level to understand what is going on in such a match).

    lol...I'm going to accuse EVERYONE of variations of this from now on w/e they disagree with me in any way.

    The author of the above link is attempting to write above his competence level. Whenever I read the betfair articles I come away thinking , "I could write much better stuff than this."

    Drcheckraise wrote this same one a year ago and it was published in Australian Poker Weekly, I have been putting links to the original version of it for a long time, revamped, more poker words, but not new material by far.
