Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5477152, member: 289533"] [b]The Leveling Wars, Episode III: The Revenge of the Fish[/b] Hello there Katie Dozier, thank you very much for your professional comments. It help us a lot here. You are right about what you say, if you playing small, mid and higher stakes: at the micros there are new players everyday, and we cannot say they are "bad" indeed, we simply have no information to deal with this guy. If I am playing 100 NLHE, for example, I know it is a very restricted field, the regulars are there everyday, and everyone knows each other. When it comes a new player in the pool, one I never seen it before, I elect to treat it as a GOOD REGULAR, until the player proves itself the contrary: Because, if we are playing 100 NLHE, there are other playing 500 NLHE and 1000 NLHE, so it is very easy for this guy to appear from time to time at 100 NLHE "to play", in the sense of kidding. They are monster players and if we don't know that this guy plays mostly higher limits and is just kidding at 100 NLHE we might get into very tricky spots. Sorry for my candor, I am not an experienced player, I am just a novice and I have a lot to learn, but I simply have to be sincere here: Many players posted in this thread that we don't need to think at all! As less as we think better, omg, I read very strange words here sometimes! Now we see why the vast majority of the micro-stakes players (99% at least) are not profitable at all, and will never be: okay let's not think example: It comes in gap for Hero in the MP with AKo, it raises to 3x and folds, folds, etc and only the BB calls. Both players have 100 blinds effective stack. the flop comes K32 (very good!) and MP C-bets for 1/2 pot and the BB check-raises. As long as we don't need to think at the micros, it is an insta-call or insta-raise! (I am being sarcastic). So MP calls, the turn comes another K (Awesome!) and we check for BB to bluff, which it does indeed, by going all in: as long as we don't need to think about position, about player types, about tendencies and vices, about postflop hand reading and range reading it is call 100% of times when BB goes all in in a very dry board like this! BB shows 33, the river is a brick and MP loses 100 BB, because it doesn't need to think about the game! After all, there were only USD 2, or only USD 10..who cares about thinking, when so much money (money, not blinds!) are involved! Thank all the Gods and also Karl Marx for players who believes they don't need to think because the micro-stakes is "cheap", "easy" level, when in fact it is not: 99% of the players at the micros are breakeven actually: either they lose a little, which induces them to keep trying, or they win just a little and lose next, so they will keep trying forever, groping in the dark. Sorry for the long text, I will try to adapt and write less, but sometimes I just can't handle. Regards; Carlos 'Aballinamion' Barbosa [/QUOTE]
