I know why there are so few long-term winners at poker

[Mossberg]

i think what the 2+2 community is slowly discovering is this.. The marginal edge you may have in the game you play is becoming increasingly smaller, to the point that variance is having a greater impact on your long-term winrate than anything else (check out BBV). Many of these players are blaming it on other factors, instead of accepting that they no longer have a big enough edge to win consistently at their current limit. I think the lower limits are still quite beatable, because the fish market is still thriving down here (all the way up to 3/6 | 5/10), but the number of rich fish willing to throw their paper around at 10/20 and up is slowly diminishing.

Maybe its just me.
