I think that even if you only count players who play semiregularly (like say 3k hands /month) you would be in top 0.1%.

also: 2p2 isnt "online players"

anybody who has even HEARD of this forum is better than the average player.

Id go for between top 1% and top .5%

hra,

Similar to my previous statement whilst 8% of online players are winners (another 2% are about break even btw) i dont think 2+2 in general has more than 1/3 of its active members who are winners.

A lot of people really overestimate how many 2+2ers are any good at teh pokah.

Irrelevant. This reply proves that you did NOT make 70k.

I don't even think this is the correct comparison group. You are not going to have the potential to make 70K playing unless you're playing high stakes 3k hands per month or you're playing lower stakes, but significantly more hands. I would be interested in the share of people who played at least 20k hands per month that made more than 70k last year.

This thread makes me happy; it's like a bunch of people indirectly saying how cool I am. I made significantly more last year than OP and I suck at poker.

No you don't. Stop pretending you do.

Top 1% is way, WAY off imo. This has to be top 0,3% or something. If it was top 1%, it would mean 1 out of 200 people in online poker makes more than you. Are you f'in serious?!? Do you realize how many people lose? How many people play microstakes?

It depends on who you compare yourself too. I've made more than 70k and I think I suck. First of all, I think I suck compared to all the great players of this forum, and Patrik Antonius, and others. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
Secondly, I think I suck because I believe I could be a much better player than I am, because I've never really gone for it 100%. I'm underachieving.

I'm pretty sure I suck based on the large number of mistakes I make every time I play. Just because I suck doesn't mean other people don't suck worse.
