I have not yet come across a winning player in the $8-16 at Hawaiian Gardens.

Even if every player is awful at the table, someone has to be less awful and therefore will get the money. You may not see any good players but someone has to make the money

#1 No, the only winner has to be the house. If all players are equally bad(or good), there are no winners. The game drops $4+1 to the house and $1 on no flops. Thats plenty enough money sucked out of the game to = no long term winners.

#2 Its not like players stick to the same location, or even play with any sort of consistency. There is one guy at HG that was probably a slight loser when I used to play Commerce $9-18 and now plays at HG $8-16 and is probably break even or a small winner. But thats it. Everyone in that game is awful. While some are more awful than others, I don't think its enough to tilt in anyone players overwhelming advantage(except me).
