Just like forex, poker is a marketing device thats giving an average joe like you and me the illusion that money is at your finger tips.
Thats the power. There is no long term fundamental stability what so ever.
Only short term riches for the happy few.
Just look at the math. Say you are at a table with five people.
You have a 20% chance of winning. So in five games you'll probably win ones.
That means you lose 4 and win 1.
Chances are you lost more in the 4 you lost then you gain in the one you won.
You are completely wrong here. Online poker is NOT about luck. I have 2-3 friends who are averaging 1k/ week. It takes ALOT of time, way more than IM, but if you are good and you keep stats on every players you play against (using software such as Poker Tracker or Holdem Manager), it can profitable.

"if every poker player would do that then where would the money come from?"

Well, there a good and bad players. Bad player are called "Fish". These people play poker for fun and they trully sucks.

Good players (Sharks) steals Bad players's (Fish) money.

The good news is,

There are always new fish in the ocean...
