Re: Question For Raptor (Re: Why aren\'t you better?)
Thanks Johnny. I understand the differences in playing styles, lol. I've had good success in the 215s and I consider myself a bit looser than the average 2+2er who beats that game. But, I play the gap principle to the extreme in the early levels. I routinely fold AQ to raisers from a non-donk in level 2, as to me, the fact that you're out of position with a marginal hand here makes this an extremely marginal situation.
I wasn't trying to ask for advice so that I can blindly follow it. I was just trying to figure out what the rationale was behind making these type of calls out of position, because currently, they seem like a losing play to me (But I just consider myself above average postflop, not a genius).
Thanks for the book recommendations though. I never read a complete poker book, so I'm gonna give those a look to get more insight as to how the other type of players play.
