Default Re: Does anyone here lose at poker?

Some other factors:

1) Losers are less likely to boast about their achievements than winners

2) People are likely to overestimate their winners

3) People are likely to attribute their wins to skill and their losses to bad luck, therefore dismissing their losses and remain self-confident that they are "winning" players

4) Players who are long-term winners are more likely to play longer, while long-term losers are more likely to quit playing (and therefore quit posting)

5) Some players are winners at one level, and losers at another level. They may not ever cash out, but are effectively feeding money from low-level losers to high-level winners
