Presuming that one is going to win at a higher rate at one game vs. another, and that eventually one will be able to acquire these skills (both of these presumptions are implied in your post), then how can it be possible that one will not come out ahead?

If you assume an unlimited time frame and constrained variables, then, yes, it is a solvable problem. However, that is not the point. Poker is not an algebra excersie. Instead, as the cliche goes, it's a game of people played with cards.

If you're prone to tilt and consider 2k hands a LARGE number of hands, then bank roll considerations come into play. If the player only has 100BB and hits a run of bad cards, for instance, at what point do they stop functioning rationally? 20% down? 50% down? Sure this can happen at a 10-max table. But it is more likely to happen if the player needs adjusts to the LAG style of a SH table.

Which brings me back, again, to the fundamental point - Rocks and/or people who tilt easily should not assume SH is ALWAYS better.

That's it! There are no asumptions about win rates, or any other table stat for that matter. It is simply a matter of knowing yourself. Or, in the absence of self knowledge, the equanimity to tollerate a run of bad cards. But in either case, this is about knowing yourself as a player. And that knowledge only comes from within.
