Conversely, I'd be very surprised if any deterministic strategy were remotely good. I've played against people with reasonable tight-aggressive strategies who were a bit too deterministic. They get crushed.

It'd be far too easy to recognize when they have a good hand and fold and to push them off all their marginal hands.
