Exactly, which is why playing 100% of hands makes it impossible to put us on a hand. But this is impractical. Not only will we leak away our stack but opponents will notice and won’t let us limp in…forcing us to call a raise. If we call a raise with 100% of hands then we are idiots. So once we call a raise we have defined our hand much better as we won’t call raises with just anything. This is why, at the higher levels, people won’t go broke in unraised pots [I only know this from what Fnord has said]. So we are back to square one. We can open up our hand requirements but when we do so our opponents start to raise anything they are going to play…negating our strategy.
