At least 2 times out of 3 I take down the blinds without a fight, and if I do get called and the caller has a high DalTXColtsFanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03031121227482450398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-6730050997760759482013-03-22T18:54:35.655+07:002013-03-22T18:54:35.655+07:00I guess that explains the monkey who's now des...I guess that explains the monkey who's now desperately 3beting me :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-33992812786450755042013-03-21T19:13:48.818+07:002013-03-21T19:13:48.818+07:00Just an update.

Only had AA once in those 1000 hands, no action with KK, and only one occasion winning a 100bb stack, but it feels that being slightly looser wins you a helluva lot more small pots, and not so reliant on monster hands to make the winrate. I'm convinced I won the above stack due Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-80325864931802279252013-03-12T18:55:38.588+07:002013-03-12T18:55:38.588+07:00Thanks Gez,

I think it is a lot more profitable than calling or folding. <br /><br />I think one of the biggest things that deters people from being more aggressive in spots like this is that they get way too many callers which makes it really hard to win the pot even BlackRain79https://www.blogger.com/profile/13583442498190608166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-17452294011067835592013-03-12T15:15:27.730+07:002013-03-12T15:15:27.730+07:00Terrific blog topic.

I've always liked the motto that you learn more when placing yourself out of your comfort zone.<br /><br />I've been thinking about this too, as I'm still playing too nitty to try higher limits than 2NL and 5NL (10/8 in FR and 13/10 in 6-max). In certain table conditions I do play looser than this, like 16/13 in FR or 24/20 in 6-max, but this is only for those Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503203097950401361.post-58078828257037948102013-03-11T22:37:49.082+07:002013-03-11T22:37:49.082+07:00Thanks Steelersfan,

I think I finally realized that #1, I have some skills postflop, they are probably just as good as most players at these stakes. <br /><br />And perhaps more importantly #2, who cares. By this I mean that 95%+ of situations are just so automatic.
