Default Re: What percentage of players \"consistently\" win?

Consistent is a sticky word when it comes to poker.

A great player, one who posts big $ wins every single month can easily have a period of days if not weeks of all losing sessions.

Variance is very extreme in hold em.

Over the "long haul" the general accepted number is 10% or so actually win money (this factors in the rake). Without the rake this % would be higher, I've heard about 25%.
