You would think. But that goes against the following principles:
1. People are lazy.
2. People gamble to try to make a quick buck. People LOVE the idea of money for nothing.
3. People consider poker to be "gambling" - after all, any two cards can win!
And yes, the amount of money people are losing playing poker is astounding. Thanks to the rake, something like 2 out of 5 players are profitable, meaning 3 out of 5 are losers. That's 60%.....
When you step back and look at poker numbers as a whole, they can be shocking.
