Default Re: 20% of online players win, why do so many say only 10% do???

Tripdad, this old thread answers your question I think.

Exactly the same sort of question starts off the thread: "Hey, my PT database says 40% of people win, what's up with the 10% estimates I hear about?" About ten posts down I chime in with some statistical and simulation analysis to show exactly why the PT number can be so misleading. Basically it's the dread problem of small sample sizes once again.

Hope you find the older posts useful.

Thanks for the link... I have seen three poker tracker stats (from friends) with over 250,000 hands each that show winners at around 20%... That is why I started this thread...
