However, the reality is brutal - only somewhere between 5-30% of players are profitable players (as also mentioned). Of course, you need to be better than your opponents, but the main factor here is rake - you need to beat it. And the rake in microstakes online poker, according to different sources and calculations, is 10 to 30 bb/100. So, beating your opponents and making let's say 15 bb/100 pre-rake does not mean you are a profitable player! It can still not be enough - you need to be BETTER! And this is why it is so hard.
