Default Re: What percent of onliner poker players are profitable?

[ QUOTE ]
what about the actual winning players that show up as losers in your small sample? or in other words, the opposite, competing fact that you didnt take into account?

If the number is as low as some say, the reason is because the winners win so much more than the loser's lose. and the rake of course.

the number i find astounding is that party made 400MM, and during the same period only paid out 38MM in withdrawals. is this true? I doubt very seriously they only paid out 38MM in withdrawals in a one year period...

Why do you find that amazing? Even the average "average" player probably only has a few hundred on their account to futz around with, how often do you think they withdraw? A lot of that discrepancy is probably all this float money.
