Default Re: How many good players will end up failing?

[ QUOTE ]

It was surprising to see how many players experienced good fortune at a point in their poker careers when (1) their BR was dangerously low and (2) their good results were not commenserate with their skill level at the time. Given how frequently this happens, it's scary to think that the oppositie could occur.

Yes, and it happens all the time. The reason you hear so much more about the players who took shots and got lucky is selection bias. The ones who ran good were able to stick around, and these are the people whose posts you see here now. The ones who ran bad busted out.
