Yes it is a contributing factor. But how can you prove to me that its enough of a factor to be straying from standard optimal play. I'm not saying there are not times you can stray. But i'm saying most stray too far and become spewers. If i play abc it is impossible to stray too far as i'm not straying at all. Anotherwards yes there may be times where the right play(well more profitable play) may be to stray from the chart. But who is more expoiltable? The guy making the chart correct play all the time. Or the guy who is out there straying in no man's land sometimes? He may be right to stray but maybe not, he may be straying too far. How does one prove they are straying appropriately? Not sure if this is coming out clear. What i mean is the strayer is more exploitable because he is more likley to be starying to far. As if i play abc i don't leave myself open to make mistakes.

You are playing 4 handed, and an 80/3 (extreme example) passive call station limps in. You are on the button w/ A2o, and the blinds are reasonably tight. Hand chart says fold, right? many here, though, would likely agree this is a clear raise, and that by playing 'ABC' and folding, you are 'straying' very far, and actually making a reasonably significant 'mistake'.

Lets take it to another level and say that you know both blinds are v v v v v v v loose at defending, but are not anything special postflop.


Now you can also make a case for overlimping.
