And what about the fact that you have also saved alot of money by not raising every time you play a hand? Raising pre-flop with a speculative hand, missing the flop as is mostly the case and then following with a C-bet only to find that your opponent is not going anywhere costs alot of money in the long run.
Actually, passive play will almost never earn as much as aggression (properly applied). Limping weak hands and inevitably folding is likely to cost you more in the long term than raising with a tighter range and using aggression to your benefit. That kind of passive play becomes a slow but steady spew. You'll get more value with your good hands against weaker players that don't like folding, and you'll narrow their range when they do call. And thanks to fold
equity, especially combined with position, you'll often get better hands to fold. Fold equity and initiative are very important aspects of winning poker, and when you limp/call you have neither. You're not narrowing your opponents range, so you're flying blind, and you're giving off a huge tell that you're not in love with your hand.
Losses from passive play like limp/folding is the type of leak you can pretty easily use a tracker report to uncover. That's why trackers are so valuable to the serious poker student. The value isn't from the HUD, it's from the ability to profile yourself and identify leaks like this.
