"Instinctive" rules stud.

Why? Seriously. And how would "instinctive" be defined in this case? Anything not "percentage/probability?" (BTW, it's Sklansky in SoP who used the terms interchangably, I think I quoted the sentence.)

I was playing Razz in PStars one day last week and this gut was taking FOREVER to play very street, all the time. He wasn't multitabling Razz and I finally decided from the way he played, that he had a simulator open and was putting all the cards in and betting/folding accordingly. After he lost about half his buy-in, he suddenly started playing normally and made some of it back.

Assuming Stud is similar and your observation is correct, why is it instinctive more than probabilistic? (is that a word?)
