This is like having a pole on the inside of a football stadium asking whether or not the person likes football.

Big error IMO to assume the majority of 2p2ers are winning players.

I've also heard polls work better for that kind of thing.

A) I didn't say the majority of 2+2's are winners, just higher percentage than non 2+2's maybe?

B) You've been here since 04' don't know teh correct spelling of pole? What a moran.

I would imagine the vast majority of 2p2ers are winning players. They just arent a winning player at the level they play at.

I finally started this up swing for over 2 years now.

i dont even use pokertracker anymore, but i had a pretty decent sized database of hands, and according to it a little over 60% were losers.

sharkscope says about 1/3 of players are longterm winners at SnGs. wouldn't it probably be similar at all forms of poker?

databases are not a good measure.


if you have 100 hands against a -1BB/100 loser; the chances of him being up is not far from 50%. if that same player plays 100k hands, the chances are close to zero.


in a random 250k hand database of mine, ill only have > 1k hands against a tiny fraction of the people in there. and when i do have >10k hands against someone, it's almost always because they're also playing professionally.
