What percent of poker players turn a profit playing poker

[TONelson]

A better question would be...

What percentage of threads created by the OP, does the OP actually respond to, read, or even care about really?

The chance of turning a profit is 50%.

Either you turn profit, or you don't.

50%.

I would imagine it is under 10%; but it very well could be as low as 5%. It's funny how many people say they are break-even players. I imagine 30% of players are big losers, 10% winners, 20% break-even players..... 40% marginal losers. The rake is more difficult to beat then you probably imagine it to be.

I have no idea,,, I'd guess 15 to 20 %..... got to remember profit doesn't mean doing it for a living.

My SnG numbers r straight from sharkscope, reason everyone wants to see it that low is none of ur losers wanna think theyre that bad n ur winners wanna think theyre that good.

I think the percent is probably pretty low, especially on-line. Many people just play for fun and aren't really worried about turning a profit.
