Default Theory of Poker and Theoretical Win Rate

In TOP, Sklansky says that a pro should be able to estimate what his hourly wage should be when he sits down at a table. He gives an example estimating how much of the money he will leave with. I was thinking that we should be able to do this with online poker as well. The standard that has been accepted at most levels is 2 BB/100, but I'm wondering where we get that figure and how we can quantify a WR for a given game.

Take 5/10 (6) Limit Hold Em for example. There are usually 2 big fish (44/3, 57/20), 1 moderately bad player (40/20), 1 overly aggressive player (30/23), and a tag (21/15). How much should I earn assuming I have position on one fish and only 1 agg player to my direct right? There should be a way to estimate...

Thoughts?
