Winning Player Percentage

Hello,

Any idea as to what % of players play profitable poker? At Party Poker, players there might say break even or win a little. However in reality I know that can’t be true. A player who bets always claim to win.

If I’ll be asked, maybe my answer will be 20% win, 20% lose and 60% break even. However I have nothing substantial to support my answer. Any thoughts?

All the best,
Trenz
Trenz,

To give you an idea, less than 5% of people that start out to play poker as a profession are truly successful. Most either end up break even players or go broke. I would venture a guess that maybe 20% of players online are truly winning players, about 20% break even, and the rest losing players.
