Default Re: Become better against tough opponents?

FWIW I remember Sklansky making an offhand comment that he couldn't see a reason against this.

I think I disagree, though. It's good to grow up with the other people and learn in small chunks. Otherwise you fall into traps. You may start thinking "High stakes players bluff such and such a board often", and this strategy might even work half-decent, but you never grew up and learned the reason why they bluff this board. Why the rule is applicable sometimes and not others.

I think watching Farha and Elezra on HSP gives you perfect examples of how you can go wrong doing this.
