I think it is more widely known that you CAN make money if your game is worked on so more people are putting more effort into it. However i doubt many people have the dedication to become good players. I would imagine 10 years ago you'd have to do a lot of research to discover something like pot odds whereas now even a lot of the bad players know that.

Ten years ago, all I had to do to learn about pot odds was read a single book.

Let's see...

Today: Go to Amazon.com. Order Theory of Poker or Super System.

1996: Go to Amazon.com. Order Theory of Poker or Super System.

I declare it a tie.

In 1986 you'd actually have had to go to a bookstore to buy Super System though, so that would be harder.

As much as 40% of players "playing right now" are winners. Only something like 1% of players "ever played" are winners.

40% is too high imo.

What's the over/under on number of posts until someone says "But 40% of the players in my PT database are winners!"?

I would guess overall 1 out of 3 players are "winning players". That meaning overall they are up money. the majority of these players are borderline break even though, which is nothing to brag about.

For Heads Up SNG's in general it is amazing how many losing players I come across on sharkscope..... AMAZING
