An inaccuracy is calling 63o in the bb 3 ways when it should be 64o, a mistake would cbetting AKo OOP on 1087 3 ways because we have to "protect our range" and a blunder would be potting AA on 1098 montone where you don't have flush blockers 3 ways.
What's interesting is the amount of blunders Lex makes pre flop, specifically one being that he folded A5s in sb v a UTG opener, Ben pulled up equilab and showed him how bad this was (he had around around 40% equity, was getting 3.5 to 1 to call).
There are other spots that I would classify more as mistakes, but it's interesting that Lex plays at the highest level successfully (at least from what we know) while making these massive preflop blunders, same thing with Tonkaaa.
If we had an in depth look at Lena's game, I'm sure there might be an inaccuracy here or there and maybe a very occasional mistake (maybe one every 5-10k hands), but I would bet he is close to perfect preflop at least within a GTO and exploitative confines.
