Re: What percent of onliner poker players are profitable?
If I never see a another "when will poker die out" or "how many people win" thread it will be too soon. That being said....
I do have theories on this number. I think it is higher than the reported 8%. If an idiot like myself can be a winning player I dont see why only 8% of the people qualify.
The reason the number is so low is to make the winners feel special and the losers feel ok in that almost no body wins. If the number was higher then the winners would not feel elite and the losers would feel worse. Keeping the number low is a win win situation for the egos of both winning and losing players.
