Message: [QUOTE="blankoblanco, post: 475917, member: 11119"] I don't think it's that hard to believe in this case. We're on a poker forum. The average online player does not do a lot of poker-reading... they just play, and maybe only watch it on TV and think they can be awesome like the pros. Consider the players who are the biggest onlines cash-losers at poker. The guys who you sharkscope and rofl when you see they have a ROI% of -30% and have lost $12,000 at very low stakes. How many of them do you think frequent poker forums and thus would be here to respond to this poll? Probably not many... About 2/3 of players in general lose money (Sharkscope.com documents this number based on the data on their site, and that's probably a pretty good sample). [I]I repeat, the 95% statistic is incredibly wrong[/I]. So maybe, of frequenters at poker forums, only 1/3 of us lose money. Doesn't sound that bizarre to me. [/QUOTE]
