Another way to look at it...

I like averages.

So, with my loose hand selection, shall we assume my average hand strength is 40%, compared to villain's 60%? Now, if the average pot I win is twice the average pot I lose, then does this add up to a profit? I think so.

I'll preempt the response. If I go in with the average hand strength of 60%, I don't need the pots I win to be bigger than the pots I lose, but if I do win bigger pots than I lose, it's a very healthy profit indeed. But it is easier for people to read me, and so the pots I win will, on average, be smaller, and because my hands are, on average, much stronger, it stands to reason that when my hands are beat, it will, on average, cost me more.

Maybe I just find it easier to manipulate pot sizes in my favour when I have the wider range. Maybe it's more profitable at the micros for me to go into the average flop as underdog. Is this really as crazy as it sounds?
