Sort of "excentric" if thats how you spell it.
Logic, theory and instinct is what I am designed for.
Stop trying to make me out to be some sort of poker wanna be.
Im just going to abandon 2+2 until I have my own roll and some graphs.
Dude, you are playing 60% of hands. If you play HU this might be profitable (I don't play HU, take this from someone who has only played a tiny bit/watched some). If you play practically any other table size, you will get destroyed by everyone.
Playing <60% is so insanely standard that it's difficult to come up with a way to get it through how dumb it is. It is the equivalent of taking your money, putting it inside a car, dousing it in gasoline, and taking a flamethrower to it. You *might* (huge might) make a profit but it will not be anything resembling the profits anyone else shows, and the profit you can make even if you're playing way above your competition is still tiny.
There are many players who have more natural ability than just about everyone else. Your perception of your natural abilities to play poker does not make you nearly as good as you think you are, and doesn't even mean you have more natural ability than anyone else. Playing so loose in full ring, which if I recall is what that thread was about, is going to result in that car scenario I came up with above.
