I would have to strongly agree with PoWda. Tournaments are good for poker and they are the best way for avg players to make huge scores but I believe that Cash Games are the true measure of success.
Let's pick on Phil Helmuth for example. He has won 11 WSOP titles which I believe is a tie for the most ever with Doyle.
Of all the mony Phil Hellmuth has won, how much you think he still has?? Now ask the same question about Doyle??
There are a lot of tournament players that are basically pretty fishy in Cash Games.
Another good example is Gus Hansen which was discussed pretty thoroughly in this thread:
Gus Hansen - Poker Pro or Lucky Maniac?
