Re: On small edges and self-defeating lines
Nice post Joker. I'm also a player to trades EV for variance, when the incremental gain in EV is small enough that it may be within my own personal margin of error.
The only thing I would add to your otherwise excellent observations, is that the single best thing I have done for my game is undertake shorthanded play.
Short table play requires you play through more ambiguous situations where your "edge" is less clear. For instance, while full ring makes a lot of money from TPTK situations, shorthanded play requires you to showdown more marginal hands like middle pair, etc.
