I can confidently say that at 6max 10/20 FTP I have run very poorly over this sample size of 80kish hands. And if you think some styles work better for different games then how do you explain my WR for 25/50 6 max? Here is my Stars 10/20 for this year:

In my opinion you have one set way that YOU think makes a player good. Your idea of good is that he is "tough to play against." And by "tough to play against" you mean that he bets and raises and puts you in difficult spots all of the time. Or simply put, the player is annoying to you. But in poker the money comes from getting your opponents to misjudge your range. So although some may play a tigher preflop style than others, that doesn't mean that people are judging their ranges correctly and that is where the money ultimately comes from. Believe me there are big winning LAG's out there that I love to play pots with because they play me so poorly it is almost laughable. And of course there are some, like CTS, who I just want no part of.
Bottom line is that there are like 1000 factors that go into being a great player. Youy took one factor (preflop strategy) that you think I am weak in and therefore give me little respect because of it. I have heard a million different criticisms of my play from a million different regulars that I play against. The range of reasons people give to try and discount my success has had me LOLing throughout my career. Like your latest one that I "play the fish as well as anyone"...lol. How hard is it to bust a fish? You having trouble with that? Funny stuff. But throughout all of the criticisms, I keep winning as big or bigger than anyone in my games. Truth be told, most of these regs that are criticizing me just aren't good enough to realize why I am winning so much.
