something i have been doing of late
 

i am only a 22-24/17-19 guy. i want to learn to play like a 30/20 nutcase. lately i have been playing some .5/1 like a complete LAGtard monkey. i am trying to FORCE myself to play more hands. anyone else try this?

Re: something i have been doing of late
 

Those extra points come mostly from increasing steals, defence, and isolation. .5/1 is not a very conducive environment to these types of changes.

I do it frequently, at games ranging from .5/1 to 5/10. It's quite fun and challenging as well. IIRC Daniel Negraneu used to have essays advocating this -- playing nutbar, I think he called it?

I've tried this but I can't take it seriously at those stakes.

The opponents are so random I dont feel I'd have much confidence in anything I might develop there.

Why do you want to play more hands?

He called it "party day" or soemthign and would do it very rarely at much lower than his normal limits--saw a big thread about it recently (in the archives) where mason kept jumping in saying "throwing away money is stupid" "this is not a new idea" "it was stupid then and is just as stupid now"--stuff like that.

I do this at stars .02/.04, but I just play every hand and raise every time I can. Helps me deal with some tilt issues when dropping 1000BB means I only spent 40bux.

Why do you want to be 30/20?

Re: something i have been doing of late
