Weirdest opening as white

1.f4 is the king of troll openings

tell that to my 65% win rate over ~300 games

I didn't say it was bad, I just said it was a troll opening.

What makes it so potent is the fact that its rare and objectively bad so no one takes it seriously, but its also good enough to actually win with, so your opponent loses to a "bad" opening without ever knowing where they went wrong, which is perfect for trolling. Look at the game linked in my profile and you'll see my point.

No wonder your winrate with it is so high

It is not "objectively bad".
If your opponent plays perfectly, they are equal in a position where you have 100x more experience than they do.
Not to mention that multiple GMs and titled players play it in serious classical games. (Raven Sturt, Henrik Danielsen, Robert Ramirez)
