Default Re: who this applies to

The problem with this advice is that almost no one falls into the category where they:

1. Don't know it /Didn't think about
2. Understand it and are capable of applying it well before they should move up to a place where it doesn't apply anymore.

I have played close to 200,000 hands of online poker and built a bankroll of 10k, but I still play $3/$6.

I think a lot of very good and experienced players on this table still play 2/4, 3/6 and 5/10 and look for loose passive tables. Plus, if anyone plays at a casino, they are probably playing a loose/passive table.

Yes, but you're ignoring the fact that (I'm assuming) you already knew all this information. There are VERY few people who can take advantage of this who don't already know it, most will be harmed.

The only real candidates are people who for some reason don't wish to move up, or can't move up. The only other possible exception is someone who is good at another form of poker playing lower while learning a new form.

I think most of these hands that are good in these games are already recommended in SSHE. The ones that aren't mentioned are only minutely +EV anyway, if you make postflop mistakes that swings pretty fast too. I think the definition of a mediocre player is they still make mistakes fairly often in unusual circumstances, which is pretty much exactly where you will always be with these hands.

Finally find me a player who's > > biggest < < fault is playing too tight and I'll show you a player who is pretty good.
