select playerName,count(*),count(*)
 from games,player
 where games.playerId=player.playerId
 group by games.results

You want to look into GROUP BY and HAVING in conjunction with COUNT. Something like this would probably do (untested):

SELECT
   p.playerName
   ,COUNT(g.*)
   ,SUM(g.Winnings)  -- you didn't name this column
FROM
   games g
   INNER JOIN ON g.playerId = p.playerId
WHERE
   g.results = 1     -- whatever indicates this player was the winner
GROUP BY
   p.playerName
HAVING
   COUNT(g.*) > 2

*Try this (pretty much as you said it in English...
(if "winnings" is amount won in the game), then:

  Select playerName, count(*) Games,  -- Number of game records per player
      Sum(g.Winnings) Winnings        -- Sum of a Winnings attribute (dollars ??)
  from player p Join Games g          -- from the two tables
    On g.PlayerId = p.PlayerId        -- connected using PlayerId
  Group by p.playerName               -- Output in one row per Player
  Having Count(*) > 2                 -- only show players w/more than 2 games
  Order By Sum(g.Winnings)            -- sort the rows based on Player Winnings

if by "Winnings" you mean the number of games won, then...

  Select playerName, Count(*) Games, -- Number of game records per player
      Sum(Case g.WonTheGame          -- or whatever attribute is used
          When 'Y' Then 1            -- to specify that player won
          Else 0 End) Wins           -- Output in one row per Player
  From player p Join Games g         -- from the two tables
    On g.PlayerId = p.PlayerId       -- connected using PlayerId
  Group by p.playerName              -- Output in one row per Player
  Having Count(*) > 2                -- only show players w/more than 2 games
  Order By Sum(Case g.WonTheGame     -- Sort by Number of games Won
          When 'Y' Then 1 
          Else 0 End)

Try this :

SELECT playerName, COUNT(g.PlayerID) as NumberOfPlays
 FROM games g ,player p 
 WHERE g.playerId=p.playerId 
 GROUP BY g.PlayerID
 HAVING COUNT(g.PlayerID) > 1
 ORDER BY g.results DESC

SELECT - the data you want to display
FROM - the tables
WHERE - both IDs match each other
GROUP BY - Games PlayerID, so all the counts are correct
HAVING - Make sure they played more then one game
ORDER BY - Order the results the way you want them.

it's tough to glean exactly what you need from your question but try something like this:

select playerName, count(*)
 from games g
 join player p ON g.playerId = p.playerId
 group by playerName
 having count(*) > 2
 order by games.results DESC

---

select
playerName,
sum(if(games.result = 'first',1,0)) as wins,
count(*) as gamesPlayed
from player
join games on games.playerId = player.playerId
group by games.results
having count(*) > 2
order by count(*) desc;
