Where do the winnings come from?
I know - for every winning session there are losing players.
All the poker players I know (including myself) are consistently winning or just doing a lot better than breaking even. Where are our profits coming from? There must be a shed load of players who bust-reload-bust-reload probably weekly. Who are they - anybody here? Own up. The poker room takes their fat cut, and everybody I know (affiliates included) take theirs. So who is feeding this chain? I can't believe there are THAT many people who just burn through stacks every month with no hope of turning a profit. WHO ARE YOU? [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Re: Where do the winnings come from?
I know a lot of college buddies who suck but continue to play anyway. Popping a 100 dollars every few weeks into 2/4 and 3/6 LHE games. I try to explain they could be winners if they wanted some advice. no takers so far.
Also, I know a guy who luckboxed a big tourny then proceeded to blow it all back into the poker community in the 100 - 400 nl games. So they are definately out there because "he ran badly" over a few months. obviously.

Re: Where do the winnings come from?
When I had Poker Edge (before it became illegle) I was amazed at how much people were losing. It almost made me sick.
There are -5BB/100 player with over 30,000 hands. Not one or two but many. I saw -10BB/100 players with over 10,000 hands in 3/6!

Re: Where do the winnings come from?
People who lose dont like to talk about it. I have a lot of friends who see my success and think they can hop on and do the same, they just end up borrowing money from me and paying me back in cash so its ok hehehe.

Re: Where do the winnings come from?
People new to the game, or micro players hit a quick run of great cards build up a few hundred or more and drop them at higher limits.
The money fuels up (pyramid style) from players taking shots at higher level games who can't beat them, & who are underbankrolled for the game. I see them type this in the chat at NL 200, NL400 or NL600 where I play. They'll say they built up a roll over the past week & are taking at shot at a higher level. They have most of their roll in play. Just a matter of time before they blow it all, and have to rebuild again unless they wise up and drop down or cash out. A nice % of my winnings comes from these type of players at my mid stakes NL games.
