It's live 5/5 and it's played pretty big.
One extra 2000bb pot per 1000 hands won gives that 200bb/100. And variance is huge.
100k$ winnings are pretty much possible to be just good variance in such game.
Btw. It's pretty obvious that players in those games don't play stellar postflop game and Postle outplay them many times. No big suprises there it's not like 300/600 with table full of pros.
Dunning krugger effect in full display. Try and just listen to what I am about to explain to you, it may be a little difficult to understand, but I will try.
Poker is a game that has small edges, it's not like chess where you control every decision. When you are talking about win-rates, you need to understand that skill can only take you so far in a game like poker. In a game like chess you could theoretically win 99% of your games if you are the best chess player in the world.
When you are talking about win-rates in poker you must understand that there is a ceiling effect in poker, what does that mean? It means that no matter how good you are, your win-rate will get stunted, it's not like chess where you can win 99% of the time, what does this have to do with mike postles win-rate? EVERYTHING, you can't achieve 900bb/100 at 1/3 2/5 with just simply skill, no matter how good you are "because of the ceiling effect that exist in poker", you can't achieve his win-rate with pure skill, you need to also run hotter then the sun to achieve his win-rate.
Stop thinking you know it all!
