Online Poker is pure luck. I enjoy the game. But I've come to the realisation that it is solely luck. Consistently winning when so many players at the low end will raise with any two cards removes all applied skills. You cannot pick up tells and you cannot make impressions upon these people. Any play pre-flop is negative equity with 9 or 6 players at a table. You will lose in the long run, it's mathematically a financially bad decision to sit at the table.
Inb4 variance. No, the maths is loaded against you from the start. AA only wins 33 percent of the time at a 9 seater, 45% of the time at a 6 seater. Even being dealt those cards every hand you would lose. And with huge numbers of calling stations that will play every hand, you will inevitably hit "bad" beat after "bad" beat.
I'd be very interested to hear or read non anecdotal evidence to the contrary.
