I've been playing with many of these guys for years and, while I haven't been keeping detailed records of what they buy in for and what they cash out with, my impression is that they are doing quite well.

If that is the case, it is hand-reading and aggressive postflop play that keeps them above water. The preflop play is -EV but sets the stage for:

good players think these guys suck and hence give back some of that EV by playing too fast or whiffing a c/r at the wrong time.

weak players with marginal hands fold like origami to a turn raise. e.g. AK or maybe 77 on an 8826 board. Whoops you got floated again.
