It is very difficult to judge or attribute someone for a bad period, we all have a day or a few days that are not very favorable, so it is best to hope that the tide passes soon.

In the way back olden days there used to be "fish finders" which could search for the worst players. You could search by game, by site, etc.

For a while there was a player who was deemed to be the worst player online. Every game he played or tourney he registered for had a bunch of players that were active looking for him. Every game it seemed like multiple players would say things like "haha you are the worst player online". Pretty sure this is why sites no longer allow fish finders.

The guy who lost the most money. Guy Laliberte, Gus Hansen for example.

A professional poker player who loses on a few unlucky hands isn't a loser at all. That was a business expense.

The worst poker player is only a loser if he's losing money that he can't afford to lose. Otherwise it's just the cost of entertainment. If it's enjoyable and it's legal and it doesn't hurt anyone, why not?

Neither. Luck only matter in the short run, and in order to be "the biggest loser", someone need to play a lot. As for skill the worst players are generally found at the lowest stakes like 1/2 live cash games or online microstakes games. But these players can never be the biggest losers either, because they play for insignificant money. The biggest losers are people like Gus Hansen and Gui Laliberte, who were neither unlucky or bad at poker, but they played for a lot of money against someone, who were even better than themselfes.

Who would you say is the biggest loser?
Hi :)
70-80% of players are the biggest losers. No more than 10% earn money playing poker. Another 10-20% of players play approximately without losses but without much profit. Everyone else just spends money on the game. The question of who spent the most is very relative, because for someone, $10 is good money, and for someone, $1000 is nothing.

Nobody likes to lose.For many of us, any loss can have a major impact on our mood and mental state. And for some players, a loss causes an irresistible desire to win back, which ultimately often leads to dire consequences. Unfortunately, no one is immune from bad luck. The best advice for those experiencing a downswing is to be patient and optimistic. Remember that there is light at the end of every tunnel.

I think the worst player is the one who doesn't follow bankroll management and loses money uncontrollably playing bingo instead of poker.

Good question. I guess we can all fail sometimes. But one day luck will be on our side

Everyone who loses means everyone. Some people provoke themselves by taking too much risk, but in the end everyone loses. The winners, however, are left with the joy of victory and time to prepare for the upcoming defeat.

For every player they must feel that they are the unluckiest, that’s how the game makes you feel affected a bad beat.

I find it very difficult to establish who is the worst poker player, what does it mean to be worse? in terms of profit or gameplay? Why in poker, even though you know how to play and are reasonably good, you often don't make a profit for a period of time
