I am a winning player. With that said, I have had some SERIOUS losing streaks. It happens. I am also a loser in some specific games....
I recently read that 85% of players are losers, but very few think they are. The article (in Card Player) said the average player is a $2000 per year loser, but thinks he is about a $2000 per year winner. Most losing players don't keep records, so they don't know for sure. I find this very interesting...
I play in a regular game with some friends - tourney style. We typically play $30 buy ins with anywhere from 4-12 players, and we usually have 2 or 3 tourneys per night when we play. I'm the only one that keeps records, of course, but check this out: Through 52 tourneys, I am up $990.
The funny thing is, apparently NO ONE is a loser in this game! I'm not sure where that money all came from, but they all *think* they are winners. It's the most bizarre thing.
