Not everyone can win, or break even. Even by trying hard
and studying. If you think about it, you will understand.

I disagree. I think that those who actively study the game are a vast minority. As proof of this, look at the number of active posters here (easily the most informed poker site on the net), compared to the number of players who play just at party. Not to mention the players on the hundred or so other sites out there.

I believe very few players give it more thought than they do to playing craps or roulette, to them it's just gambling.

Maybe in 5 years when the fad dies down and only hardcore players remain will your sentiment be true, but with this environment of unlimited bandwagon "I saw it on t.v., looked easy" players, I believe that ANYONE with an I.Q. over 14 can be a break-even player, if they STUDY, and PRACTICE WHAT THEY LEARN. A little discipline and my pet monkey could become a break even player.
