Of course there are exceptions and I expect a lot of people will reply "lol ****** what about leatherass/20buckspin/nanonoko" etc but in truth it seems like these people truly are part of an elite, the top 0.01%... For the rest of the regs, it seems attaining a good winrate at mid stakes and higher (even above 2ptbb) over a large sample these days is getting really tough.
This is based on FTP/Pokerstars, maybe on euro sites where games are softer(?) this isn't quite the case.
Anyway...
What stakes are you playing? Do you play stt's? I've been running pretty flat profit-wise lately, but I play low enough stakes that everyone pretty much sucks.
Switch to Bodog. Sports gamblers make bad poker players.
