Default Online Poker : 75% of loosers

I thought it was more. Something like 90%

So, 25% are 'tighters'... or is there a group in between?

If you check most people's PT stats, you'll see it's more like 60%, although many "winning" players are either very slightly ahead or breakeven.

I read it was 90-95%

I bet there's a lot of players who think they're winners, but have put in hundreds before they got any good, and just 'forgot' about all that expense.

I assume 20% are tighters and 5% big winners. You gotta have some big winners on tournaments and high stakes tables.

My name is Lock and I'm an online looser. Mostly because of just that reason: much looser online than in the live games where I've been a consistent 2bb winner over the past year (with the records to show it).

I don't care about the rest of the world/players. I'm up, and that's all that matters. However, I'm definitely not a winning player. Isn't poker a beautiful thing?

Jackpoy Jay wrote a recent article quoting 2 separate online poker room managers saying that 7-8% of online players end the year positive.

There have been several recent threads on this, do a search on the forums.
