% hands won by a winning limit player?

[pokahjunkie]

I have a question that I wasn't sure where to post. My brother is limit player and believes he has been running bad. When playing full ring he believes that he should be winning 10% of hands and he winning about 3% and when playing short handed he is winning about 5% when he feels he should be winning 15-20% of hands depending on the size of the game. I say that a good player is not going to win as many hands because they are not in nearly as many pots. I think he is running a little bad but not as he thinks. What would be a normal win% for a winning full ring player and shorthanded player in the long run. Stats from you limit players would be great. If this should be moved to limit holdem please do so.
