Perhaps he is enough of a winner at his normal game, that the profit part is a lock, so he could change to an alternate pf strategy at any point he desires that produces 10-20% more hands/hr than his normal game and a lower winrate. If he is an excellent player with many million rush hands he can probably find a pf strat that makes him breakeven and gives him 20% more hands/hr than his normal, optimal play.
Now imagine every 30 minutes for the whole 24 hours he switches pf strategies like this, with a 1:1 balance between his normal game and this breakeven but faster game. He still has a positive winrate for the period (albeit half what it could have been), with a net increase of 10% to hands/hr. If he is up enough from playing half breakeven and half normal he could even switch to a losing preflop style at any time if it would further accelerate the hands he could put in. This winrate/handrate tradeoff is unique to a game in which the hand ends when you fold, and as others have so meticulously pointed out, not achieved by adding more tables, since there is always a limit to how fast he can click. He could well do this on his normal 12.
I am likely oversimplifying his actual strategy but his edge here has to come from this element and from people not thoroughly understanding how performance in rush is affected by certain variables. Do not liberally apply your 24- and 40- tabler concepts of cause-effect relationships here, BBV. The guy's been planning this since April and he's pretty damn good.
I'm not trying to kill your action, sir, but you'd probably get 25k of it at 2.5:1 or 2:1, which I suspect are closer to your real odds.
