anti-delusional mathematics

We frequently see posts from masters of the universe players making 1000 a day playing 2/4 hold'em yadda yadda.

One of the beautiful ( and profitable )things about poker is the luck factor that keeps losers coming back. the skilled player wins in the long run and so forth.

Is there a formula for approximation of the allowances of standard deviation for a given game. I know that size of game in relation to skill affects the BB / hr. winning for that particular game.

So, for the sake of argument, ( spurred on by posts from ssh millionaires ) a low limit game of 4-8 played in by a top player, a world class player, who can adapt back to the optimum play for loose low limit games. How much will he be able to earn per hour given the limitations of the limit and the inherent luck factor? ( I know type of game would affect this, but for here let's say typical game for these stakes and talking one table and bm rate of 30 hands per hour.)
