Since its online a lot of opponents will be using starting hand charts and probability guides for calling. So your math will have to be good. The bigger the pot is the more mathematically correct it will be to call and bullshit you on the river. If you are using general guidelines and not mathematical precision don't expect to win. If you assume that you are 10% better on average than all your opponents at a 1/2 table where the rake probably is about 7% average this means that you will have a 3% profit margin. Any mistakes at all and you will quickly lose money......

You're right about the rake, but I think you're giving most of the people there way too much credit.....
