Re: People and their money.

Someone did a study from sharkscope data (SNG tourneys, no cash game statistics) and found that only like 5% of all players were profitable. I read an article in either Bluff magazine or Poker Pro that said it was around the same range (5-10% of all players are winners over the long term).
After looking up people that I play against day after day, I completely believe it to be true. It's pretty rare that I stumble across a non multi tabling hud bot 2+2 regular that is a winning player...
Most people just lack the skills necessary, or they don't put in the time and effort that it takes to become a winning poker player.

I believe it's 30% for cash games like the other person in this thread said. Especially at higher limits. SNG's are a different matter. It's hard to just beat the rake, and the strategy is so simple that most people are playing optimally.
