Re: Is NL a flawed form of poker?
come on guys, this is any easy answer.
if one guy has 10000BB and everyone else has 10, he plays the 10BB game as best he can. these tiny, low-variance EV nibblets you're taking pale in comparison with the massive EV overlay good players get in a deep situation. there's a reason guys like flynn built their BR's playing bigger games like this, but like you said, it's an ugly grind, and it won't keep your head above water when you actually want to make more.
If you had to make a meager living and had no experience or innate intelligence, this is a great approach. as the money gets bigger, the margin gets smaller but will always be there so long as there are guys playing deep against each other. my reccomendation? put away the minnow net, think about the game a little and grab a harpoon.
