More than 3/4 players are losing. I think close to 3/4 2+2ers are losing.

Soldier,

since it seems this discussion comes up a lot on 2+2, do you feel this applies to the 30K+ registered members, or strat forum posters, or regular posters in all forums, or...?

Improbable. Perhaps if you include the casuals. In no way could all the strategy posters be down. My guess is 9/10 or more are up for sure.

Mm, if you're informed at all, losing money at online poker isn't the easiest thing in the world, even if they're dropping it in the game itself. I would guess most losing players at 2+2 are small losers, apart from a few like Brown Thumb; small enough that the losses can be made up and surpassed through whoring.

That's a good guess and it's possible though I'm not sure. BBuddy is one of the many Norwegians who always changes account names and shares accounts sometimes, so, it is very possible that guy could have been him but I really have no idea if it was or not since it's tough to keep track of who is who and that person happens to be a relatively new player name.

Those stats are absolutely shocking. Were they heads up or something? How are their VP$IPs so insanely high over so many hands? I mean, Jeez!

I play lots of short handed. Some of them are legit, ok VPIP stats (ie playing lots of 2-4 handed with them), while yes, a few of them just play too many hands.

Define "losing" and define "2+2er"

I think people that are regged on 2+2 maybe, but in terms of people making regular contributions to the strat forums, I'd be shocked if 75% were losing. Some may be winning at small limits, and would be losing higher.

No real story. Just a 22BB hit in 13 hands. Can happen in aggressive games if you're playing a lot of hands and never winning, which seemed to be the case here. It's probably only 13 hands because the game probably broke after 13 hands because, and just a guess, but a certain _fish_ at 300/600 won some pots off this guy then left because he usually leaves the table if he goes on a nice run and wins some money.

Ah, see I thought this was at something like 50/100. That would be absurd.
