7 or 8%. Seriously.

Ya a while back one of the major sites said that 8% of their players were in the black. That doesnt really mean anything since a player who wins $10 a month at the penny tables would be included. I think that the number of players that make $1000+/month is probably somewhere between 3-5%.

My guess for this would be <1%. It would take a very good, logical, fact-supported argument to get me to believe >1% are making $1000+/mo.

About 7-8 percent sounds about right. Just thinking about it informally, if anyone is making a significant amount of money, then there must be a lot of people donating to the pot since I think most losing players don't lose very much (they simply quit playing or move to very low stakes). I do, however, think that 10% of those who try becoming winning players must be too low. It takes nothing more than a tiny amount of common sense and some patience to beat the micro limits. I can't imagine that anybody who wanted to be able to do this wouldn't be able to.
