I sent this article to my brother and he also misread that paragraph. The games he collects data from are as he says, "a small fraction of the hands he plays" So as a pro I'd expect he's earning a lot more, but for the cases of this blog post and probably personal preference he doesn't show the real totals of all hands across all games.

At 600 hands per hour it would take that long to play them regardless of whether this is a small fraction of the total hands. The rate per hour would be wrong if these are hands where he won less than usual, but in that case he's making a profound (but common) data science mistake by drawing conclusions from a biased sample.
