I actually had a guy in 2/4 limit game in a casino play every hand blind. He would cap the raising pre-flop and call bets on every street. Sometimes he would look at his cards if it was 2 bets to him on the turn or river.

He was up over $200 when I left the table. He must have hit 3 or 4 full houses and 2 or 3 flushes in the dark during the 2 hrs I was sitting at the table. It was the best lesson in variance that I have ever seen.

Now to add to this thread: His play clearly put some of the players at the table on tilt. They played into him with any holding of medium strength or better like it was AA. So I am certain that your play does impact what your opponents are doing. The key is whether they stay on tilt when you go back to looking at your hole cards.
