Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 2018594, member: 40397"] Micros run from 2NL to around 25NL, depending on who you ask. Some consider 50NL as still micros. Nobody is calling you a bad player (well, I wasn't, I don't know anything about your play). I'm not attacking you, I'm attacking your argument. Certainly you are free to give your opinion here. But when you give an opinion, prepare to receive a few in return. Especially if you make a statement that flies in the face of convention, then you need to be prepared to defend it. As many of us have said, ABC poker is not intended to be used at all stakes against all skill levels. It won't work everywhere -- any good player will see you playing ABC and exploit you. What I've yet to see is evidence that you've progressed beyond the point where ABC is obsolete. Maybe you have, and if so, great, but I can't really see it judging by the type of posts you make. Nothing wrong with them, but they don't seem to be the posts of a top player either, certainly not a "master" of poker (ABC or otherwise). Then you're telling those new to poker to ignore what the rest of the poker training industry, including expert players and coaches, have always told them. To get any respect with that advice, you'd need a helluva compelling argument backed up by a lot of results, and I've not seen either. ABC on the other hand, has proven itself to be the best strategy at the micro stakes. This is a forum where a lot of beginners look for advice, and I cringe at the thought of suggesting that someone learning poker should not be playing ABC first or that there's something wrong with it. They need to master the fundamentals before they're wise enough to understand when to deviate from them, and as I pointed out earlier, this is true in many competitive endeavors. And it doesn't matter how sophisticated you are, when you play with largely unsophisticated players, you're wasting your time and your money being too sophisticated, because ABC is without question the most profitable line to take against those players, long term. You said you have "mastered" ABC. Someone who has mastered ABC should have some very good results at the micros then, and be happy to prove it. Someone mentioned BlackRain79 -- it would be hard to find a better "master" of the micro stakes anywhere. Ask him what he thinks about ditching ABC poker at the micros. [/QUOTE]
