Whoa Whoa Whoa J... I never criticized his style or berated his play. Just explained how it can be used to the advantage of someone else. The only part of his game that I feel needs berating is the poor sportsmanship at the end where he starts talking shit to me after getting really lucky to knock me out.
There are plenty of virtues of being a "Gus Hansen wannabe." You have a better chance of obtaining larger chip stacks. Because you are involved in more pots, you have a chance of winning more. Also, if you get caught bluffing, you are probably going to get paid off the next 10 hands you play. Perhaps the best part of the strategy is your opponent's inability to put you on a hand. If you have a loose, crazy, aggressive table image... you might have the nuts or you might be playing the board. It's tough to tell. So there are lots of counter traps that LAPs (loose aggressive players) can put into play.
One other thought is that it is much harder to be a successful LAP then it is to be a conservative player. You have to make more decisions with worse cards then a more conservative person. The hardest part of playing tight is having the patience to not play any hands for 20 or 30 minutes.
