I disagree. Taking away pots on early streets against weak players is about the lowest variance profit there is. The wild ride comes from putting in all the money to hit something then hoping to get paid off, be good and hold. Then again I've never been a deep money value and bluff kinda guy which is another reason I don't default to deep money play.

I also think you're vastly over-estimating how much this opens up your game. It's a simple adjustment to drop some marginal/loss-leader hands from EP, then open up an extra hand every 1-2 orbits from position when you smell easy money. That steady stream of small pots is my bread and butter and the full ring guys are soo soft compared to 6-max.

It's also pretty sick how often we don't even see a flop when I raise/re-raise preflop after a limp or a weak opener. Although I wonder if playing less deep sometimes plays into this as I don't give optimists good implied pot odds.
