Re: Huge deviation from optimal strategy
if you play 40-50 hands/hour, you've only played 1600-2000 hands, over which ANYTHING could be happening. You could be a winning player, or you could be a losing player running well. There's simply no real way to know.
But I'm confused about your post. Are you calling your strategy optimal and so his is not? Is his optimal and yours is not? I'm not really certain what you're after with your post, but it's worthwhile to remember that profitable is not the same as optimal.
At any rate, it sounds like you're playing essentially Ed Miller's Short Stack Strategy from Getting Started in Hold 'em. If you're not, I'd get that book and read that section. He discusses precisely why you would want to play like that, acknowledges disadvantages, etc.
