We probably have different reasons to play poker. You play to win money. I dont. I play because I find Poker a rather interesting game. I want to find the most +EV way to play in every situation. If this increases variance 100fold - I dont care. If this involves losing money while learning - I dont care either.

I try to find the most +EV situation possible as well. But if you are playing 22s and 33s, using advanced level thinking like Gigabet does will not be optimal. Doyle Brunson's advice for playing against bad players is to play straightforward. As a generalization it is correct.

Players at low limits will not make the assumptions and insights that players at the 109s and 215s will, so adjust according. There is this thing called Fancy Play Syndrome.
