winrates - low content

A friend of mine started online poker a few months ago, won a couple tournaments, and then started playing mid and high stakes cash games. You have definitely played with him on stars, ub, and probably party.
He literally has no idea about winrates. Take this excerpt from an AIM conversation and tear him apart.

j*******: how could a good player NOT beat 5-10 NL for $500 an hour
j*******: running 4 tables

He is talking full tables so that is about 25bb/100.

mabye not $500 and hour, but $200/hr is not all that hard 4 tabling 5/10 if you are good.

sounds like some jackarse who ran well and built a bankroll extremely quickly through a lot of short run luck in tounreys and cash games

whats his party NL handle and ill tell you if he's close to that.

hint: he would have to be one of the very best to get near that mark.

How many people (if any) make more than $150ish/hr 4 tabling 5/10?

Wow, i'll make more then 150 an hour 4 tablein the *400* 6-max NL...

thats a joke. $150/hr is well below what the best players make.

So can anyone tell me how many hands he has played and how much he has won? A simple "20k hands of 2000nl at 20BB/100" or whatever you guys are claiming would make me less skeptical.

Edit for pronoun clarification (my well-running friend is anonymous unless he wants to post in this thread- I thought it was clear "he" was refering to anyone): I want a person to post "my win rate is..."
