No .. I do not think, that the percentage of winning players is as low as 5% ... yeah, it makes you feel good, that you have worked hard on your game, and you have learned and struggled and invested a ton of hard work, and now you are beating the game .. but truth is, that it is not that difficult to become a winning player, albeit winnings might just be 20$ a month or so, still you are a winning player

But it is a good question, what percentage of pokerplayers are winning, and how big a percentage are just donating (and these might enjoy themselves immensely even though, they are losing in the long run)

I lost about a 100$ the first month of playing, but soon won it back and now 8 months later I have a plus of 5000$, since I'm no Einstein or natural at this game, I do not believe it to be an uncommon occurence
