ok, so your reactions would be the same based on all 3 players, but now think if we raised, he 3bets, we 4bet and NOW he shoves, you see how it changes, I think you can almost fold all 3 to opp 2, but still might call one to opp 1, I mean I kinda get what your saying, and I know you need to analyze each player individually, but the point that they are a losing player should tell you something, and also should let you know to look for the major leaks hurting their game, and be able to exploit it, as well as when sitting with a winning player you have ideas of what is probably going on in their head, if you yourself think like a winning player, and just need to exploit their style, I believe SS CAN provide some valuable information, although it's not perfect and doesn't give you any reads, absolutely correct, it still can be very useful IMO

You make some very interesting points, and I've found myself agreeing with your position even though I was black and white on this before. I still think though that SS should barely even be used to determine the playing of a hand (the situation you describe is maybe the only one), and it certainly shouldn't take the place of reads.
I think any decent player should have enough reads after 5 hands to make SS redundant in that respect.
I suppose, thinking about it, the natural conclusion of your argument is that their record should to a certain extent determine how willing we are to put our chips in when we are unlikely to be a long way ahead. If you think the SS stats mean you're likely to beat a player 65% of the time, they should be looking for coinflip or slightly sub-coinflip situations, and you should be avoiding them.
