hmmmmm I would have no clue.

I could honestly say I "USED" to have a positive balance

but my play has stunk as of late and now i am on the

losing side of the fence as well (sigh) maybe someday

I can say I am a real winning player again.

I think that any poker site would probably have a similar amount of long term winners and losers. My best guess would be 25-33% winners (including rake) if not less.

That is not possible to monitor. As if everyone's gonna post his account balance LOL. would you do that?

i'm pretty sure it is much much lower than that.

When you filter your hands database and only keep those players you have the most hands on (the regulars at the site), they are very significant winners in average.

And for each regular who plays a gazillion hands with a long term profit, you needs hundreds of fishes who come play only a few hands and lose their buy-ins.

I've kept a positive balance on there for a few months, nothing too big, but I've had significantly better luck there than at PS, I've always gotten killed there for some reason.

I do have a positive balance on ALL sites (exept Pokerstars at the moment) as i dont deposit anymore and only did so on PS...
FullTilt is ... special... lol.
quite easy to get a bankroll started from zero with all the freerolls, but hard not to lose it to the very very frequent suckouts...

Close to impossible to calulate, if not impossible. But I would have to agree with some others before in it being a very low percentage.

TBH does it really matter, the only one thats important is U.

As for % of winning players online in general, I read an article last year somewhen and it claimed less than 10% of online players were actually winning players.
