what does the above mean please
Literal meaning poker wise, is that a player has not done anything out of the ordinary, not played many hands. The orbits refers to how often the button has passed round the table, for example if your are on the button 1st hand, when the button next comes round to you that is a complete orbit.
If you mean how the hell can we tell that somebody is solid after about 20 hands max, I agree that it is kind of a stupid statement.
