Bottom line: play the odds and play often and it will all work out for the skilled player. The same goes for the stock market - odds over time (not every trade works out). fortune,

However, there is not enough data to support Player B who played less hands and net profit. I played poker and know that good hands at the beginning can be devastating at the river. And if you are talking about no-limit poker, then one loss can be devasting. You article was a good read. However, there is not enough data to support Player B who played less hands and net profit.
