Message: [QUOTE="Jack Daniels, post: 1010259, member: 1954"] No one is saying they win all of the time. The question is are you an [B]OVERALL[/B] winning player. That's not every time you play, it's over the history of your play. Actually the poll is showing 64 votes which is 73.56% of the people that voted on the poll. It shouldn't be hard to understand that that number is not representative of all poker players; it represents votes only from those poker players that frequent a poker forum (in this case, this one). Poker players that use a forum and work on their game are miles ahead of the average player out there and yes, our results will tend to be better on average. This is a mistake imo, you should be keeping track right now. Sorry but this is wrong too and you'll just be lying to yourself. It can be discouraging, but any money you win or lose right now is still part of your overall winning/losing status. There is no way to know if you've recouped your "training" losses once you actually do see that drastic change in your game because you didn't keep track. This would be like a school telling a kid, "Well we know you're not too bright yet so we won't give you any grades. Once we see you really start to excel in school, then we'll start grading you." Of course they wouldn't do that because the grades (just like your overall winning/losing status so you know how you're doing) should be tracked across the board. I've even heard people say, "As of x date forward I'm a winning player". So by that rationale anyone can be a winning player; all they need to do is ignore their losses and pick a timeframe in which winnings exceed losses and deposits. Then again, I guess that the more disillusioned records keepers there are means the more people there are to fund the rest.
