I dont know can anyone answer this, Why cant players who read books and go to the forums be at least break even players?

I was playing with my brother-in-law once on a $25NL table. He had KQ, and the flop came 3QK. Someone bet $3. He folded. He said he figured with that size bet, the guy must've had a set.

Bottom line... he's cheap. He read the books, but he could not bear to risk even 3 bucks unless he had the absolute nuts. He's a smart guy - and much better at math than I am. I have no doubt he has the intelligence and ability to be a winning player. But some people are just not cut out for gambling.
