Re: Psychology/Mindset
I see them as real people and try to figure out their playing skills and their motivation. I try hard not to see them as dumbo cash machines.
SnGs are very easy in that respect because the play is more abstract and you cannot directly fight your opponent.
I moved back to .5/1 ring games this month to clear a ton of bonuses and to get a feel at what state the ole beginners game is. I got way more involved there, was very aggressive and had an assassin's mind set. I beat the game steadily for 5BB over 6000 hands and it was the first time that I felt superiority over 80-90% of my opponents. That felt good.
I also made it a sport to open new 1/2 Crypto tables (It's like a reverse tourny, you go from heads up to full ring), sitting there by myself, like a spider, waiting for my victims to kill them off heads up.
