Re: What percent of onliner poker players are profitable?
One thing to consider that I dont think has been discussed yet in this thread is taxes. I gather that many marginally winning recreational players (and I am one) may be winners on paper but actual losers once tax liabilities and other "full costing adjustments" (such as gas to and from the casino, etc.) are included. So while we may be able to beat the games we're playing for a decent amount, our actual end of the day winnings are often much less. Of course, the costs of playing online are much smaller than playing live, but they still exist and must be considered if you're going to look at how many players are truly winners.
