Re: When a read is not a read.
What he said.
Every once in a while I'll see someone with stats after 20 hands like 12 VPIP, but I'll have a note that they played something goofy like JTo in UTG+1. Sure enough, by the time I'm up to 40 hands I'll see their VPIP at 35 or 50 or whatever and the old-fashioned read was the best and quickest read.
That said, no way am I giving up PT and PV, even for a little while. I only 2-table, so that I can pay pretty close attention to every hand already. I'm not going to go a few k hands deliberately playing with less info than I could have at my disposal, that's negative EV.
