help with Sicilian from 1900 and up

hey, i need some help from some of the stronger players on the site...
it'd be great if i could play any of you in a game...
but at the moment, i want to know whether, and how, playable this game is...
i am white
1. e4 c5
2. Nc3 Nc6 avoiding mainline Sicilian, i find it throws the devout Sicilian fans off they're game...
3. g3 g6
4. Bg2 Bg7
5. f4

here's where my question comes in...
it's kind of like a Grand Prix set up, which isn't so bad, but i want to know what u guys think about this...

This is mainline Closed Sicilian Theory. The theory extends well beyond this move and plenty of books have been written on this material. It's fine for white, but not as ambitious or as testing as the main lines with 2. Nf3 and 3. d4.

not a tactical nightmare...

I would never point anyone in the direction of Closed Sicilian material. 😀

what's wrong with Closed Sicilian?

It's excruciating lame and a cop out to playing the best lines.

You do realize that 47 is in fact less than 50? Which is bad. Since 50 is half. And that if you score less than half....that's less than half. With white. Which is laughable.
