I agree with everything you said. I am only recently trying to get away from playing weak tight. I can honestly say that in my short 6 month on-line experience that i did make 5 final tables using that weak tight thinking. Now that I have forgone that way, i have not reached a final table, but I am still tweaking my game and obviously somewhat drastically from my original style of play. The weak tight play he suggests only works if you get the cards and as we all know even when we get the cards the well runs dry far too often. This weak tight was recommended highly to me for beginners and I have to say I would recommend it ONLY for beginners because you just can not afford the bankroll swings being aggressive (or just loose) when you do not have the experience or skill. I know i'm rambling, but I just wanted to say I am always eager to improve my game and get beyond the weak tight thinking he recommends, that's one of the reason I lurk here at 2 + 2. I think your analysis is dead on.
