Also, there are many players that are "slightly" better than the field, but will be -EV when it comes to actual profit. This is due to the rake. Last I looked, the Main Even took $900 on the $10k. So a player must overcome 9% before they are truly +EV. Rake can get absurd when it comes to low limit cash games. It is common in $1/2 games to have no one "up" because the casino is "taking out" $200-$300 (or more) per hour in rake.
