If you didn't know before opening this thread, everybody CAN'T be a winning poker player. Poker, without the rake, is a zero sum game. If you win a dollar, somebody has to lose a dollar. The best instructors in the world can't put ten people in a room with $1000 each and teach them ALL to come out with more than $1000. If you start charging for food, (rake) they can't even all come out even. So, in order to win and take care of rake, you have to be somewhat better than average.
It would be possible to make all members of Cardschat winners in external games, and that is a goal. But, as we improve, competition in the internal Cardschat games will become stiffer. Just as the zebra wakes up saying, "I have to be faster than the fastest lion." and the lion wakes up saying, "I must be faster than the slowest zebra.", we have to be better than over half of the players out there to be a winning poker player.
If you wondered where the losers are supposed to come from in the buy-in games, JD said that is why they let me join.
