Re: Winners and Losers?
It would have to follow there are more winners during a ramdom night than lifetime winners. You could win small amounts of $ over multiple sessions, but lose a large amount one night. Then you could theoretically be called a winner 4 out of 5 nights but be a lifetime loser for your 5 sessions.
You think only 5% of poker players are winners over their lifetime?? Yet, the 95% keep coming back every weekend to donate to the blessed 5%. It's amazing that anyone still likes this game besides the 5% and it's a special accomplishment when you do become part of the 5%. It must be the 30% chance of winning on any given night that brings most back to the felt if they believe that poker is a game of luck. If people actually knew that only 5% of the population win at poker, do you think they would still play?
Can we safely say: Over time, skill is the ultimate factor in poker, and eventually all the money goes to 5% of the people who win.
