The best player at the table should absolutely be beating the table for more than $80 in a 40/80, otherwise they would probably be doing better in a similar buy-in nl game
You are definitely correct about 20-40 being the sweet spot. The same player would probably increase his win rate by 30-40% at most jumping from 20-40 to 40-80 as opposed to doubling it. I do disagree, however, that the best player a 40-80 table should be beating the table for more than $80/hr.
Looking at some regs for the 100-200 and 200-400 game on HSDB, it appears to be very difficult to achieve a win rate of over $2/hand. Obviously the games are much, much tougher, but very large fish still existed in these games from 2012-maybe up until the past year or so. If you play less than 50% the stakes (40-80), with a higher rake/hand, it is still difficult to achieve $1/hand profit in tough 40-80 fields. Obviously these tough 40-80 fields rarely exist but you will still end up playing a decent % of your time (maybe 15-20%) in games that quite frankly aren't that great. Getting dealt 30-33 hands/hr and achieving a $2/hand win is a very strong result IMO.
