As is covered in the Sklansky NLHE book, winners make mistakes in small pots, and losers make mistakes in big pots. Or something to that effect. Basically, they argue that it is technically an error to openraise 85s. However, a good aggressive player is more liberally aggressive early in the hand, when it costs him less money. He makes smart decisions late in hands, and he comes out on top. He can exploit players who only notice "raises with bad hands." Bad aggressive players tend to miss this important distinction, and they can lose a lot of money. |

This is EXACTLY the case, IMO. There are some guys who are HUGE losers, and their numbers don't look THAT bad, at a glance... Their VPIP/PRF numbers are reasonable, meaning they understand the value of starting hands. Their problem is that their postflop play is horrendous, and they will all too easily bluff off their entire stack when it's obvious their opponent is holding the nuts.
