So I guess what Im really asking is ignoring tells, position, type of opponents, and all the other stuff just using strictly math can you beat low limit hold em?

No, unless all of the other players were also ignoring tells, position, type of opponents, and all the other stuff..

If you find such a game, let me know! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Yes. But not in the way you're describing.

Math reverts to probabilities in gaming strategy. While the probabilities are estimations (measurements) and not certainties, the math you use becomes relative regarding a certain win. If you choose a threshold for the winning odds (as you suggested 20%), this is a subjective choice. It's not the math who provide this figure, but you.
You can use math in evaluating hands. You can figure out odds for own hand, odds for possible higher formations of opponents and compare them. But this are just evaluations, not certainties.
Using odds and probability-based decisions will give you an advantage in front of your opponents who don't take into account these, but you will don't know when this advantage will fully materialize for you. And every game of chance submits to this, not only Hold'em. Do a search for the article "The Probability-Based Stretegy".
