If I had to guess, I would say it most likely has a very small influence in either direction. Frankly, worrying about this or discussing doesn't do us much good unless some of the winning players are willing to compile enough real game statistics to prove this one way or another. Just my 2 cents.

I disagree... You don't need a ton of stats. Preflop is just another street. If someone posts a hand and asks how much to bet on the turn of a particular, do you go to your stats to find the optimal bet? or do you use logic and reasoning to determine the correct bet? Preflop is no different.
