Why Current Online Win Rates Won't Persist

Saying that poker will run out of fish is like saying the world is going to run out of people. There is a fishy life cycle. It usually goes something like: 1.) Deposit, win big, 2.) Play some more, lose it all 3.) Complain about bad beats, cashout curse, sunspots, etc 4.) Re-deposit and suck again. This cycle might repeat indefinitely or just once or twice. It depends on the person. However, when one person quits depositing, another will come along and take his place.

Also, I've never met a losing player. They are all winners when you talk to them. People that think they are better than they are can be very profitable. This probably makes up roughly 97% of the poker population. The good thing about these people is that since they have this false sense of superiority, they will not work on their game to turn themselves into a decent player. They will eventually lose all their money and re-deposit or die out and become re-incarnated as a different donkey.

Remember: there's a sucker born every minute. Eventually the sucker will deposit some money on Party Poker.

Reading comprehension is not your strong point. At not time did OP make a statement such as this.

Maybe you'll proofread what you write if you're planning on criticizing someone's language skills.

Why? The guy he critiqued either didn't read my post or lacked the ability to comprehend what he was reading.

I don't have an overwhelming desire to criticize anyone's language skills (unlike others).

The problem is, his post is similar to others, which basically are assuming that OP said we are going to run out of fish. It was already pointed out that that was not what OP was talking about. It's simply dissapointing to have the same old distractions in a good thread.
