Those must be really casual gamblers if they are leaking 2% due to mistakes at VP. When I train for a new game on iPad Winpoker, I play 1,000 hands of "intuition" based on the paytable before actually looking at a strategy. I find it helps me across a variety of games getting used to the difference between 6 and 7 on a flush, 4 and 5 on a straight, 2 and 1 on two pair etc.
I don't think I've ever had an expected return under 99.2% of maximum just playing intuitively during those test runs (and I won't attempt a game in the casino until I'm seeing 99.9% or better). I can't imagine how poorly you'd have to play to be leaking 2% of your handle. I'll routinely see error rates of 5-7% during those test runs but the expected return is still over 99% of possible. It's not like I'm throwing away trips to keep a three-card flush.

The average gambler might be leaking an additional 2% just in play mistakes. I think about 2% is the number IGT comes up with from analyzing their aggregate machine data.
