Default Strategies that make more against better players

I feel pretty strongly about an answer, and am curious to get the thoughts from others. I suspect there will be some disagreement.

The question is:
Are there strategies (defined in the game theory sense) that do better against good players than bad players?

In other words, suppose I have a plan for what to do in every possible situation - with every possible hand, every possible action sequence by the other players, for every possible board. Is it possible that this plan does better in the long run (makes more money) against players who are solid, but not great, than it does against players that are bad (too loose say)? Is it possible for this plan to do better against world class players than bad players? Is it possible for this plan to do better against world class players than merely solid players?

Please backup your answer with some reasoning.

edit: revised question:
OK, so as to avoid this whole thing devolving into a semantic argument, let me revise the question.

Suppose you have two sets of players, A and B. In the long run, the A guys will make more money (or lose less) than the B guys. You may assume whatever you wish about them otherwise. Suppose you are playing any form of poker you wish. Is there a strategy (ie plan of action for every situation) that does better against table A than table B?
