Moneyball for Poker?

[nkrienke]

I just finished reading "Moneyball". For those of you who are unfamiliar, it basically explains how many statistics that are calculated for baseball are essentially useless. The people on the inside of the game encourage base-stealing, bunting, among other tactics that are counteractive to how baseball should be played to maximize efficiency.

After reading it, it got me thinking about poker. Does anyone know of common plays in poker (check-raising, slow-playing, idk what else...) that are statistically counteractive to a player making money, even though they may be popular among professionals or the typical player?

Just a topic for thought...let me know your ideas.
