This is pointless. Completely biased sample.

Whenever I hear a number like that, I like to remind others that 85% of all statistics are just made up right on the spot.

According to my pokertracker stats, 40% of players are up in limit and 37% are up in no-limit.

This is a complicated question. Some people are consistent winners at lower stakes, but donate their winning when they try to take a shot at a bigger game. Currently, I win at NLH STTs, and LHE ring games, but I lose at limit omaha 8 ring games. If I played more omaha 8 without getting better at it, I would be a break even or losing player.
Also, if I played bigger games, I might be a losing player too.
I think most winning players are potential losing players.
There are less than five or six exceptions, and they are all playing 4/8k at the bellagio right now.

Everyone's a winner baby that's the truth

"I'm happy to blow 100 buck on a night of entertainment"
"I come here to pass some time"
"I only play poker for fun"
"Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose"
"I don't play by the book, that's not interesting to me"
"This game is luck, it moves around the table"
"I like to play every hand"
"I can flop a full house with any hand"

Everyone wins as long as they believe it

It's easy, give it a test with a nonsensical poll in OOT, they'll love you.
-and I'm not upset, but it's lose and losing. Could be important words on the forum.

It's the exact opposite on this forum, 90% of the people on here will say they're beating the game, and 90% of them are friggin idiots.
