[QUOTE="doops, post: 1544865, member: 59356"]
I recently read an article by Mike Caro (at the Doyle's Room website) in which he talks about the fact that great players can win with a hand that poor players would lose with. He also notes that excellent players make more off their good hands. 
 
The article was, apparently, in response to the perception that "Durrr wins with that hand!" or "Hansen raised with garbage!" The point is that, because their post-flop play and player reads are superior to that of poor-average players, they can (at times) do well with hands that others might fold. They have a clue what size bet may get the other guy thinking about folding. And they know what it means when the other guy reraises. They know where the fold button is when their play didn't work.
 
In sum, you may see even the best players playing relatively crappy hands. But they may be playing the other player. It's a deeper game.
 
So, for the purpose of this thread, I would guess that the cards people hold may not be better at higher limits -- but they can roll right over most of us without having monsters. At least some of the time. Average players have a hard time at higher limits.
