Should I win 10% of hands in long run?

No. Equally skilled players may still have widely different playing styles.

No. You have contradicted yourself. Players with widely different playing styles do not have equal skills. Different playing styles are unequal by virtue of being different. Different and equal are mutually exclusive. A passive player is not equal to an aggressive player; a loose player is not equal to a tight player.

I hear what you are saying. My use of the word equal is a little broader than your interpretation. I was thinking along the lines of "Lederer is the equal of Negraneau in ability." Of course, they both play the game completely differrently but they both clean up at the tables. I'm looking at the results as being quite similar where the both get there by travelling different roads. I wasn't thinking equal in the "is exactly the same as" sense.

Sounds like we're both on the same side of this one.

I only win 6% of my hands in ring games, which is 1/16 compared to 1/10, but the pots I win, I win more, and the pots I lose, I lose less, so I can still win.

I know that when I go below 3%, I am on a cold streak.

Different styles can be equally skilled in their specific style(or overall) and have virtually equal winrates.

If 10 players went all in before the flop, than divided up the money and played again and again...
Then YES everyone would win 10% of the hands in the long run.
