Some people don't have a grasp of what the game used to be like. 80% as a top side win rate is way low when the game is populated by drunks, skunks, totally readable knits, people who came out of the 5-stud era and could not adjust to the flop games, business men just blowing off steam like it's a party at the country club, etc. The thing was so lopsided in terms of what they would give their chips away with it defies belief by modern players. Patience alone would get you an 80% win rate. Patience plus knowing your players about 90%. And out of the millions of players playing, we would expect some humongous streaks. Of course luck is always a factor in the game, but there is a point where it is almost like a pro golfer against a 20-handicapper. Nah, maybe a 12 handicapper. Something like that. Gonna win almost every time. A couple of the guys who had played a decade or so before me said things like, "I expect to win almost every time." It was real. The good old days.
Just as an example, they flop the 2nd nut straight in PLO. Then it comes the flush. Then it pairs the board. They played it like in 7-stud: "No way I'm folding a straight made."
