    just wondering if anyone has any link to an overview or study rergarding where the money goes in online poker. e.g. breakdown of percentages in terms of winners/breakeven players/losers. do the splits change as the games/limits move higher. i'm just curious. i've heard people suggest or guess things like only 3% of online players make a profit in the long run and 10% breakeven...the rest are long term losers... and so on........ but are there any more reliable sources figures??...........is this something that has changed over time etc?
    and in terms of rake. how much do sites actually make from the rake? do sites publish these figures or do the just publish 'profit' figures for shareholders. and was there/is there ever any competition regarding pure rakes fees. (excluding rakeback deals, differing points bonuses etc).
