There is a guideline for becoming better at everything and when you don't have the higher level knowledge/skill capacity/ability(you don't), you can't play in the same way that someone that does.

An example would be in middle school and high school basketball, defense is stressed constantly, get back on defense as fast as you can. College ball worries a little less on defense, and you don't see a fraction of it in the pros. This is because as you become better and better, you are dropping some things that are more medial(I am not saying defense in basketball is medial, I hate that they don't play it) because you have a much better understanding of the game.

Also keep in mind that they are not playing every hand like that. If you're taking this from one of the shows, realize that they are not showing hand for hand, they are showing the hands that stick out. So Dwan may have not played a hand for 5 hands before he got that 35s, and he has position, and the guy in the BB is weak, etc... There is a lot of thinking behind every one of those pro's moves, it isn't just, "OK, I look down at my cards and I don't really care, I'm playing it regardless of what's going on at the table, what history has been, blah blah"

I agree, it's unconventional, but that's just because they are on such a higher level of thinking and reacting that it is appropriate for THEM, not you.
