95% of players are losers?

I'd be hesitant to include rakeback in these figures... like theres a lot of sng'ers that lose at sngs but the money they make from rakeback covers their losses and then they profit from high turnover. obviously they make money from the act of playing poker, so you could consider them "winners", but their stats at poker, ie simply ignoring rakeback, make them losing players, just glorified bonus hunters like these casino rats. I can see arguments for both sides though.

as for the origional Q, id say 5% is a generous figure over the course of every poker players existance.
