Default How Many people can beat 5/10+ Online?(LC)

I was discussing with some people and got varying answers so I'm curious what people think.
So the question is how many people in the world could beat 5/10NL or higher online over a big enough sample. We can assume they can game select i.e. not sit vs 5 other regs but at the same time they can't only sit in the softest games 1 tabling.

More than 1000 have the neccesary skills to beat it IMO, however that doesn't mean that it's in their best interests to play that high. For example there's probably a heap of small stakes grinders whose games are at a level where they could eek out 0-1ptbb/100, but with that winrate they'd have such sick downswings/breakeven runs that they would never stick around.

Are you saying right now? Or people who if they got coached etc.. have the ability to? Because honestly given the current conditions of the games there is no way their are 5000 people can beat 5/10

For just 1PTBB? I'd guess 6000. Probably more, actually. Interesting question though, I always wonder where'd I'd rank in the world at poker.

You mean like right now, could sit down in an average online 5/10 NL game, and expect to be a 1 PTBB/100 winner?

6000 is WAAAY too high.
