Some great players play quite a few more hands and show an immediate profit with some of them. The worst hands are advertisng for the others. And if they play even more hands still, their lessened winnings will sometimes be masked by higher volatilty.

Pay attention.

1. There's not a consensus this person is a big winner.

2. There's not a consensus this person is a huge favorite.

3. Alluding to an experts ability to add more hands (ie, make mistakes in hand selection), and play them expertly postflop and thereby confuse his opponent by having a greater possible range of hands is orthogonal to the contention gestured at here: an expert may add more hands and make postflop mistakes (ie, make mistakes in hand selection and play) which confuse his opponent. The classic example from the Ferret paraphrased is that if you went nuts with AA and 72s whenever you were UTG, you'd make more money with your AA. Or, perhaps more relevant to the case at hand, so you tilt cap the turn heads up with 6 outs because you are pissed that the guy 3bet your semibluff turn raise -- this may be good thing (it is suggested by some) because you get more action elsewhere and cuz maybe it's +EV getting in the last raise even when it's -EV because chicks dig the long ball, etc.
