Can we stop with all the Lasker nonsense?

Yeah, that Lasker Trap is so cool. I've been able to get it 1 time.
So another definition of 'coffeehouse player' is that they spend a lot of time playing chess for money in informal settings, e.g. coffeehouses? So then ole Joe Blackburne was one of the best coffeehouse players of all time too?
