Point 1: I agree with you, a winning 70% doesn't make sense, but it happened. Why??????????

[/ QUOTE ]

Variance.

Point 2: As far as I can see, the 95% is the only logical explanation. Its impossible what he did, yet he did it.

Not impossible: Re-read my reply to 1 again.

Point 3. Do you have any PT data backing up your statement??? "BTW, 3000 hands is insignificant given the greater variance associated with these loosest of tables."
I don't play these levels but maybe you do.

No, but I have lots at 1/2. Filtering for players with min 1K hands and then sorting by VP$IP, I observe the following:
- 140 players.
- Highest VP$IP = 68% @ 1595 hands and -4.4BB/100.
- 4th highest VP$IP = 49% @ 1032 hands and 8.2BB/100!
- 9th highest VP$IP = 44% @ 1,115 hands and 8.1 BB/100!
Admittedly smaller samples and tighter play somewhat mitigated by stakes (1/2).

Point 4: When involved in such games one MUST reverse strategies. Its as simple as that or if you like, make adjustments.

[/ QUOTE ]

Yeah, make adjustments. I can't see reversing strategies. How?

Point 5: What has been your experience with non-rake games in your social circles??????????? It is common for friendly games to see 4th or the flop blindly. And the $ amount is all relative.

Then this is not VP$IP.
