Re: Do you ever wonder if you have what it takes to be a winning player?
Yes, the experts say it's impossible to beat the low limits in the long run due to the rake/drop/toke/jackpot structure. If no money was taken off the table, I'd be up significantly. As it is I'm down about 1 small bet per hour. I'll guess I win an average of 3 pots an hour (I think that's conservative). Rake+Toke+JackpotRake = 1.5 small bets per pot. So by my estimation, I'd be up 3.5 small bets per hour over the time I've been keeping records.
But I don't think I'm good enough to move up where the cost of playing is less significant in comparison to money won/lost.
It's difficult to reconcile whether I could be a winning player.
This is a good thread - one I wish would get more atttention than it does.
