I've read a story (I forget where) about a pro who resolved to play O8 for an entire year seeing the flop EVERY HAND. At the end of the experiment, he was up nearly 6 figures.

I'm no pro, but once in a while, I'll sit for a session of .05/.10 NLHE with the (self-imposed) rule to see every flop. And I have pulled some major up-swings as well as some major down-swings in these sessions. The variance is ridiculous compared to a TAG style of play, but a lot of the players at this level are just so clueless that you can pick them apart after the flop.
Typical chat from a guy who just lost his whole stack with QQ against my 8-3 on a flop of 9-3-3:
"How could you call a 5xBB preflop raise with 8-3???"
This is after I've seen 50 flops in a row, and he's been at the table the whole time. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
I of course refrain from pointing out, "How could you put your whole stack on the line against a guy who will play any two cards and who will only call your massive postflop overbet if he is holding 9-9 or a 3?"
