This is an incredibly vague question. That's like asking what's the probability of being successful in anything I do.
Are you asking about the odds of a particular hand winning? That's probably what you're looking for.

....my thoughts are you have a 1 in 5 chance of becoming a profitable player...

I think 1 in 5 is awfully optimistic.
Considering 1 in 10 actually cash in a tournament (sometimes 1 in 15). you would have to win 10X your buyin and cash one out of ten tournaments to just breakeven. I have estimated before that i think only 2-4% of poker players make a profit.
I suggest you read his book Advanced Texas Hold'em (A Detailed Guide For No Limit and Limit Hold'em Poker Strategies). There is a lot about the various poker probabilities.I have the software Poker Tracker. It keeps records on my play and all of my
opponents play when I load the hand histories you can get from most poker
websites. The reason I mention this is that three out of every five players are
long-term money losers. So 20% of the players are long-term winners, 20%
are marginal winners, 40% are marginal losers and 20% are major money
losers.
you may be right. I was just going by the fact they say 80% of poker players are losing players, so 20% would be winners ( 1 in 5 )
it's really not a question you can give a definitive answer to because of so many variables
