Are these PR's all from live play? Online is a different animal, and I'm not the least bit interested in how anyone plays "skittles" online matches for no money. But if these are all from live tournaments with serious money and prestige on the line, I'm ready to believe that after 50 matches, they are meaningful numbers, even if/though they still aren't the whole story.

Online money matches are a third animal, and closer to the real thing, since most players then "shut up and deal" (or so I presume.) They close the door if there is one, minimize the other windows they're reading, stop typing emails, ignore the kibs, and maybe even turn down Garth Brooks to somewhere below the level of a 747 taking off. Then they play more the way they would in real life, except that they never miscount the pips.
