saying he is "obviously a huge winner"

and

"his style should be easy to emulate"

is a contradiction.

That's not necessarily true. He may be playing in a way that may make him a near mathematical certainty to win providing people keep folding to him like they do.

the analysis is not easy or straightforward. for now I will wait and see, just pick apart other's posts El Diablo style, rather than write my opinion on the whole matter. (though my opinion is evident, just not what I think the why and how is)

His style of play could fill a book.

I have played a fair amount with him and have never seen him do anything post-flop that I said, "wow, slick". But, I have seen many, many hands where I said "what on earth is he thinking" - like betting and calling a raise on river after his low two pair has, at the bare minimum, obviously been counterfeited; or capping all 4 streets with low set when it's obviously no good. It's hard to imagine someone so good could seem to often have no idea where he is in a hand.

I hope at some point you do comment on the how's and why's, I think there is a lot to learn from his play.
