Creating is the key word here. I think we all seek and exploit +EV situations, but we don't all try to create them.

There are a few definitions of the word - quite a few apply to all poker players. At the same time, some of the definitions wouldn't apply to 'honest' players.

So, I guess you'd have to give the specific definition you're talking about. I wouldn't want to be described as a "hustler" in the abstract, because it sometimes has a negative connotation.
