I have HEM, analyze his hands, but he doesn't do much differently than I did.
Those 5-7% differences in ROI are the difference between amateur and pro player for me. If I could have 12% ROI over a 10.000 sample, I could go pro (living in a poor country where $1.000/month is worth a lot!)
player might have an edge you don't in one specific area, like on the bubble, or has more single table experience so gets more out of final tables, or is slightly better at exploiting bad players, or never makes big mistakes when you do every once in a while.
If you both make the FT at the same %, for example, but he wins over 30% of the time he makes FT when you only win ~15%, that can be the difference. Maybe you have a leak w/ specific hands. Maybe it's variance. There are tons of explanations but it's rare that you are both playing exactly the same in all scenarios.
