Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

You forgot the "polls suck" option

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

May as well make this post suck less... A few of these guys are probably losers. A few of them are actually winners:

1. You are on a poker forum...
2. This is one of the better forums...
3. Your audience has a massive flaw...

4. I'm up $8500 this year.....I play part time..

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

Up about $3000 from poker add another $2000 from various bonuses.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

This year I am up a few thousand.

LAST year on the other hand, prior to reading any books and basically just going by what I "thought" was correct, I lost maybe $700.

Feel better about my small losses now.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

I think losing 13k in 13 hands would put me on tilt.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

come on kent, you can use statistics to prove anything. 17% of all people know that.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

I will say that I'm not up nearly as much as I'd like this year, but anyone who's taken it seriously and studied should be able to tool the casual players.

I have no problem with the "3/4 of poker players are losers" thing, especially if you consider that 9/10 of people are either stupid or lazy...

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

More than 3/4 players are losing. I think close to 3/4 2+2ers are losing.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

Everyone needs to lighten up, these posts are awesome. I am up for 2005, and i also have a big penis just in case ou wanted to know.

No real story. Just a 22BB hit in 13 hands. Can happen in aggressive games if you're playing a lot of hands and never winning, which seemed to be the case here. It's probably only 13 hands because the game probably broke after 13 hands because, and just a guess, but a certain _fish_ at 300/600 won some pots off this guy then left because he usually leaves the table if he goes on a nice run and wins some money.

Soldier,

since it seems this discussion comes up a lot on 2+2, do you feel this applies to the 30K+ registered members, or strat forum posters, or regular posters in all forums, or...?

Improbable. Perhaps if you include the casuals. In no way could all the strategy posters be down. My guess is 9/10 or more are up for sure.

Mm, if you're informed at all, losing money at online poker isn't the easiest thing in the world, even if they're dropping it in the game itself. I would guess most losing players at 2+2 are small losers, apart from a few like Brown Thumb; small enough that the losses can be made up and surpassed through whoring.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

That's a good guess and it's possible though I'm not sure. BBuddy is one of the many Norwegians who always changes account names and shares accounts sometimes, so, it is very possible that guy could have been him but I really have no idea if it was or not since it's tough to keep track of who is who and that person happens to be a relatively new player name.

Re: POLL: are you a winner or a loser?
 

Those stats are absolutely shocking. Were they heads up or something? How are their VP$IPs so insanely high over so many hands? I mean, Jeez!

I play lots of short handed. Some of them are legit, ok VPIP stats (ie playing lots of 2-4 handed with them), while yes, a few of them just play too many hands.

Define "losing" and define "2+2er"

I think people that are regged on 2+2 maybe, but in terms of people making regular contributions to the strat forums, I'd be shocked if 75% were losing. Some may be winning at small limits, and would be losing higher.

Ah, see I thought this was at something like 50/100. That would be absurd.
