I am not sure if I understood your question, but do you mean playing pure strategies with each combo, or with range?
With range, I believe you always lose something, varying from small and insignificant to a lot.
With each combo, the issue I have (and maybe this is due to a still limited theory understanding) is that in a world where you are not going pure with your range, wouldn't always taking pure actions with combos leave one of your ranges (let's say, checking or betting when they are the possible choices) unprotected? I mean, equilibrium has to be somewhat exact, frequency wise, and poker combos are discrete in nature, like, you don't have 4.954 combos of 99, you have 6, 3, 1 or 0 depending on blockers.
