Where was it proven that HU players are unreadable? I missed that lesson. Every beginner forum is full of newbs that can't make reads. That doesn't mean it is difficult or impossible only that lots of people haven't developed the skill.

The question at hand is how do you quantify that 'feel' and intuition that excellent players use to their advantage. Most of us got there by playing a few 100K hands. But there is no doubt it could be simplified and distilled.

The challenge is there is little incentive for good players to do this. In addition successful players tend to move up so sample sizes down low with winning strategies tend to be small, and considerations in their current higher games are often not applicable to low levels.

I'm not sure if you're saying, "just play your hand" or what. To me ABC does not equate to playing our hand in a vacuum, it is best done in context. Determining what is important in that context would seem to me to be a useful beginnig.
