I actually think this has HUGE potential to be profitable. You can simply let your opponents bluff their way into oblivion. Any time they make a c-bet, just raise. Triple barrel bluffs would work great, you can value bet as if you had top pair hands against draws, fold when they hit and force them off if they miss. it would SUCK, cause all the fun in poker would be gone. If you could turn it off it would be great, but as is I would never use it because it takes away the entire point of poker. It becomes a game of chicken because you can never call an all in, and anytime you get a bluff called your boned.
interesting but it would make poker boringggggggg.

My problem with this is that these situations are not often enough to have to make up for constantly limping or raising with crap PF, depending on your position and opponents hole cards, and then having to constantly fold later on. Sure, you can easily pick off every bluff, raise when someone has a marginal hand, win a lot by the river, but you will NEVER win a showdown. Not everyone is bluffing all the time, and you'll be forced to fold more than you think. Plus, in this game, the only real good strategy is to raise. Calling is obviously stupid. You'll get called by lots of hands playing 'correctly,' they'll hit hands they won't fold, and that's it folks. Since you know their cards, you then have to c/f.
I simply don't agree with you.
