Well, what you say is more incorrect today than ever in history. On the one hand you are right that most players are losers. They lose money in poker in the long run just like those who lose money in casino games. They don't bother to study and improve or they do very little.

However, about a decade ago, with the proliferation of online poker schools and all the material that can be found on the net, the percentage of players who study and improve has gone up a lot, and that has led to a tightening of the levels.

You are also right that most of those players can be found in online tournaments, because the luck factor is more important than, say, at 9 cash limit tables.

So, am I right or wrong? Because after reading your reply, 2 times, I am still not sure about your opinion on that post of mine.

Why does your opinion matter to me is because I see that you are a quality poster, and also that nick of yours, Poker Player, is delightful to my eyes because I love playing poker.

Regarding online poker schools, I just have an opinion that is different to yours. I think most of them are harmful, because they are teaching the old style that no longer works. Poker is a living thing, and it is evolving, is not static. For example, look at how Daniel Negreanu was playing 10 years ago, and what he was teaching at the time, and how he plays today. Indeed he's a genius, because he has found the strength to abandon his old style and adapt to the new reality. ... Well, that's just my opinion, of course, but if it means something to you, I am a 2 times winner of the Bitcointalk Poker Series. (I know bragging is wrong, but I hope it's relevant, just this once.
