I've heard 10%, but that may be optimistic.

I've heard this figure too, but I'm not sure it's right. 45% of players are >0BB/100 according to my PT database, and this number increases as I filter for a greater number of hands.

Survivor bias.

OP, if I had to pick a number, it would be about 5% are winning players, though maybe 10% end up beating the game (winning players who don't go busto + losing players who win some and don't lose it all back, like they go on a heater or win a tourney, withdraw a good percentage and lose the rest and don't redeposit.)
