Today at work someone is trying to convince me poker is all lucky BLAH BLAH BLAH and backs it up by saying no one person has won the world series more then once. Is this actually true i really dont follow it i just play, and watch WPT but thats completly different obviously

Are we talking the Stuey with a HUGE drug problem, or the relatively put together, gambling problem stuey?
Mid-Late 70's, Stuey cleans the tables.
FYI, Stuey won the Main event, 3 times. 2 times in the 70's, once in the 90's.
Has anyone read the book that just came out about Stuey, One of a Kind? AMAZING read. Scary and intoxicating all at once.

He'd be Mike Matusow. Steam through fields and get trapped by more patient players in the last 2 or 3 tables. Win something or go really deep into final tables and drop it all in sportbooks.
No one really knows. Anyone that tries to answer that question seriously sounds like a retard doing it because it's impossible for people like us to speculate and poker's not a sport where we can measure things up like how Babe Ruth didn't have to face 95MPH moving fastballs and a vast array of breaking balls everyday.

Good point.
Though, I wish I could see Stu play Gin, from what I read he could name your cards in about 7 turns.
