Re: Passive Play for metagame purposes.

Note the "almost" qualifier. But I do think that if playing a good hand weakly like the OP's villain can make you tilt away that many big bets... then playing normally against you can probably make you tilt too.

The OP can probably earn more by concentrating on NOT tilting than trying to induce tilt in others.

I was not focusing on that particular hand. The guy was a real fish. I would never tilt against him but I would actually be happy to play against him. However it is an example of metagame. A (very bad) play that causes a certain aftergame effect against a certain type of opponent.

My point was that I'm tired of all the posts I see that "metagame play is useless at small stakes". It's not.
