I experienced the same thing myself for a time. It's quite simple. ANY piece of specific poker strategy advice is very game/table dependent. Applying much of HPFAP to a 2/4 game is going to cost you a lot of money (either in losses or money not won). Similarly, applying Lee Jones' book to a 10/20 6 max game is going to get you run over and slaughtered.

I think a lot of people got caught up very much in FPS (Fancy Play Syndrome) when the reach a certain level of competence, and start making moves that are wildly inappropriate to the opposition. Bluffing a calling station, slow playing a rock. Not a whole lot of point in playing deceptively if your opponents aren't really paying attention.
