Re: I know why there are so few long-term winners at poker
Correct. And eventually the fish play well enough that they still might be slightly losing players, bud not badly enough at all that a good player can beat the fish enough to overcome the house drop.
As has been posted several times recently here and in B&M, players seem to severely underestimate the amount that gets taken off the table in the rake.

True. But I remember 1 1/2 years ago. The players were easier. If I knew then what I know now I would have been much more successful. Even though I have improved so have the players. I still make money but they make less mistakes. Thus will I still will always beat X bad player. I will not beat X bad player for as much as 1 1/2 years ago. There are less bad players out there at 2/4+ than before. I remember going to tables loaded with fish. 1-2 TAGs at 3/6. Now 3/6 has maybe 3-4 really weak players.
You can't argue that beating a fish is easier then beating a guy that was a fish and has gained some information and is less than a fish. Which means you get less money. If he makes 1 less BB mistake per hours thats 1 less BB you make per hour.
