Between 5%-10% of all poker players are winners.

I don't think this is right. I think most PT databases show about 40% of players with +win rates over large samples.

Not everybody that wins is a big winner. But I think more than 5%-10% of all poker players are winners.

one can't draw conclusions based on pokertracker sample sizes of so few hands. i would be astounded to find out that >10% of players are long-term winners.

I have over 30 million hands in PokerTracker and when i parse out those people who have less than 10k hands, i still find more than 30% are total winners. I believe 5-10% is too low a guess.
