It's a shame your whole argument is based on this completely incorrect and absurd premise.

The idea that losing players lose and then leave is fallacious. There is no database for cash game play win/loss unless it's personally compiled. But there is a large database that tracks SNG players called Sharkscope.com. According to this database 2/3 of the players lose money and 1/3 win money overall. Every day I encounter players with negative thousands of dollars lost and yet they've still played thousands of SNGs.

You don't just quit poker, it's just like any other drug. And it's actually less expensive than a heroin or crystal-meth addiction. And at the lower stakes it's cheaper than a marijuana or crack addiction.
