HI
I personally think you're missing another factor here, the psycho outcome.
I mean, by seeing a high number of flops, you'll also be induced to put I pressure or even shove it when you feel you're ahead at flop. And then it flips the other way... you're opponent bad call miraculously wins the race, or your poisonous made hands are beaten in a way that if you have played a little tighter, you would have never saw flop and played those trips that just cost a full buy-in to a fullen or completed draw.
As most of you know, I'm talking about variance.
I believe you can beat variance playing very loose, but we fall in the group of pros, those with high discipline and reading abilities, and specially a developed metagame.
That means dealing with tilt. For me, a biiiig issue.
Psychological factor comes to number one when dealing with variance.
Last 888 buy-in, I was first to leave.
77 in MP, I bet 80 (4bb), BU reraise to 140, UTG calls, me and CU also, pot 570
flop comes K79 - a set. I check with intention to raise AI, waiting for the AK to move,
BU bets 200 - great
UTG goes AI 1640 - perfect
I call 1180
CU & BU fold
UTG shows K9o no draws vs my 77
turn comes a 6
river... K!! A ***** K ... giving him a fullen. Probably 1 out, considering the PF action!!
Got sick with that.
Went to 888 cash tables to buy-in all my BR (it happened before), and blew my bankroll in one hand, turn brought a gutshot st8 to the other donkey, considering my self as a donkey of course.
No poker until Redkings 4kp buy-in tourney.
