Message: [QUOTE="Millie232, post: 4882045, member: 370867"] I've been having this thought ever since I started playing poker. I've read a few articles, other forum posts, and even just had discussions. The number 1/10 comes up a lot, which sounds to me like it should be about right. Live poker tournaments tend to award money to the top 15% of players, while online ones are sometimes pay as high as 30% of people. The same is true for SNGs - from what I can see, most 9-handed games pay the top 3, while most 3-handed ones have a single winner. If you assume that, online, about 50% of people probably just get lucky while the other 50% are fairly consistent winners, that's about 10-15%. How many players do you think are able to consistently make money playing the different kinds of poker? [/QUOTE]
