nah, i think there is something to be gained from this. You see how strong top pair + is against maniac fish, and how valuable small sample size reads can sometimes be. Like, based on reads your play is great if you had something like J9s, but you'd get slammed for it by people too often.
i read something really interesting a few days ago about sample size and reads and uber-fish. You don't get a good sample size on uber-fish cos they don't last long enough... so you have to be prepared to go with it sometimes. higher in stakes you go the more this applies as conditional probability (or something) tells you that a player you have no stats on is more likely to be bad than solid (assuming you are a reg with decent volume in your game, and because the player pool decreases in size as you move up). For example, the hand i posted is fine vs a villain such as the one you described, and awful vs some (only some!) regs.
