Exactly Tacman. There's actually a section in one of my poker books that talks about players who are "book players." They're so predictable that you can pretty much play them blind. But getting back to your point about having your own style, I most definitely agree. We have to remember that most of the books out there today are mainly produced to make the author some money. I read a Phil Ivey article somewhere online and he said it best, read all that you can you get your hands on then let it go and when it comes time at the table, trust your instincts and play your game.
(I'm obviously paraphrasing here... LOL.)
And Tac, the math is what gets me too bro.
