Hi guys
Be prepared for the following to sound extremely contradicting. Would any of you say that there is some validity to the argument that there are fishy winning players? Playing both online and live, I have come across tons of fishy regs, whom always seem to be building up quite a few BB/ buy ins. From playing against them, I've labelled these players as fishy, due to their poor bet sizing and pre-flop actions, which led me to believe they have never picked up a book about poker or have any mathematical insight towards the game. But they seem to be winning players (grain of salt).
This got me to thinking- are there different roads to success in this game? Most of the best players I have come across all seem to have a studious nature towards the game. They are constantly studying hand reading, bet-sizing, tells, equities, etc. However, would you say it's possible for the previous to be relatively unimportant compared to putting in many hours on the table? Would it be possible to ignore the mathematical/studious side of the game and still find success these days?
Lastly, regarding the first paragraph, is it fair to label players who seem to often be winning as fishy due to their bet sizing and pre&post flop actions?
