I've read the entire thread, and learned a lot. But let me also toss out a couple of thoughts.

1. I love poker. If people can play it so differently and still succeed, what a game!!

2. In your last post grif, I think you hit on an odd paradox of poker. The decent regs adjust quickly to all the basic playing styles, but anything out of the ordinary and they may never find a coherent adjustment. The may not even try to adjust.

3. I was just thinking if I was playing you, and had 250 - 800 hands on you, what a sample of your stats would look like, especially W$SD. If others (or some percentage of them) use your W$SD stat when trying to play you, they're calling a lot more than they should, right? They're making thin value calls 'cuz of your HUD image. Just wondering if that doesn't contribute somehow.
