Re: DERB
I think DERB must be making his money by:
1) Getting people to fold when they shouldn't (or alternatively)
1A) Getting people to call him down very light
2) Getting excessive action from second best hands
(or alternatively)
2A) Preventing his opponents from getting maximum value when they're ahead.
Perhaps many of us are underestimating how often his style of play can lead to the first, and perhaps his overall metagame ensures that vast majority of his opponents will have a hard time correctly balancing their play against him and slip into one of the above categories.
Maybe someone that has a very large database can compare DERB's $ won w/o showdown to that of a solid winner with 2+2 17/12 type stats over a large sample.
Also, a comparison of BB/hand with AA, KK, QQ, JJ, AKs, AKo, AQs would probably be helpful.
