Interesting. I didn't realize that this information was public.

Intuitively, I had presumed that the tables would rarely see any sort of extended loss due to the large frequency in number of hands they see at the edge earned off ploppy strategy. Again, this is assuming no cheating or advanced AP strategy raking money from the flow.

After realizing that such losses are fairly common for a table, which has an environment built around producing an advantage for it, it makes me wonder how an AP is even capable of making it in this game.

This goes to show the importance of an adequate bankroll to be successful. Without an adequate bankroll you are still counting on getting "lucky." As a result, would that make those trying to play at an advantage with an inadequate bankroll "Gamblers"?
