yea i think it's more than this thread is making out. sure these people are smart guys but we are all riding a rising wave at the moment, when the games get tougher or they enter more efficient market some are going to lose lots. there's always a higher game. i still don't think it's that high of a number though.

say about 12%.

Jay,

I think most of the losses will come in the form of life choices, like buying expensive toys that don't retain their value vice making investments. There seems to be a trend in poker players to buy property, though, so maybe I am too bleak. I think 12% is where I would put the lose most back to poker line. There are some people who post here who I would be shocked to see lose a lot of what they won in any way shape or form, but they are definitley in the minority. Most I could see taking a big hit at (variance and tilt mainly) or away from the tables.

A retard can make 100k. It doesn't seem likely that many people smart enough to make a million would lose it.
