Default Does anyone here lose at poker?

Everywhere I look on this site people are talking about their wins and how much money they are making. Obviously this money is coming from somewhere. Now is your chance to man up and come forward if you are a career loser at online poker. I'm especially interested in people who are longtime members and frequent posters.

Maybe the losers are losers because they don't bother to read forums like these? Less homework done.

Some other factors:

1) Losers are less likely to boast about their achievements than winners

2) People are likely to overestimate their winners

3) People are likely to attribute their wins to skill and their losses to bad luck, therefore dismissing their losses and remain self-confident that they are "winning" players

4) Players who are long-term winners are more likely to play longer, while long-term losers are more likely to quit playing (and therefore quit posting)

5) Some players are winners at one level, and losers at another level. They may not ever cash out, but are effectively feeding money from low-level losers to high-level winners

Thanks... however of those 1,000 times, I doubled, tripled, quadrupled my money most of the time, then played on till I lost it. Sicko addicted gamblers are vital to the poker economy; they're the ones who keep depositing each payday and make sure new money comes in.

I play too many MTT's to be a consistenet winner. But I'll give credit to 2+2 for improving my cash game. Since joining the forum my EV has crossed to the +. 99% of my play is online.
