A frequent questioned asked a different way

[Etric]

At what limit must you assume that your opponents play reasonable well as opposed to playing poorly? Specifically, when should I begin to studying and applying the concepts in HEPFAP as opposed to SSH? I've read that the answer is 10-20, but I've also read that bad players are playing higher limits now, so I was just curious as to people's opinions.

I think 3/6 is the cutoff point to start HEFAP

Hey Etric,

There's really no line in the sand to point at when it comes to this. If you study hard and study correctly, you will find yourself in a position to know when to apply certain concepts and when not to apply them. Don't just be content with knowing the what's and the when's that are driven into the collective head of this forum, but know the why's and know them well. Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path of 2+2 dogma and explore concepts and theory that most don't care to learn. If you do these things your question will no longer be relevant.
