Re: False Dream?

Im pretty sure the statistics show a much higher percentage of winning players, something like 55%+ I remember being surprised that more people won than lost.

That's what I was thinking, unless we are counting the poker sites as "players"

Re: False Dream?

I thought it was more like 75% are losers and 90%+ never make a withdrawal...which is effectively the same as losing.

You would need an underclass of fish that spew so badly they support winners and the sites?

Few fishes with huge roll can feed better players and make them winners.

Like this guy here; [mod edit: 3rd party sn removed]
He made many players winners from those stakes.

how the f some1 can lose at 70bb/100 rate @ nl4 is beyond my comprehension.

Re: False Dream?

It's a false dream.

too hard to beat at a good win rate.

true is that you don't want to be a professional. You are a professional when you're ready.

God knows what I read. I'll try and dig it out. I thought it was strange but rationalised that the fish lose enough :/
