I think about this a lot, but more towards the home games I play that are SSNL. What is it that separates me from John Q. FIsh? In a game that is largely card dependent (debatable), where is my edge? Ive narrowed it down to my superior hand selection and superior ability to read and analyze the board versus said fish. We, here at 2p2, know when to pick and chose our fights, what to go to war with and what to say goodbye to. We know what situations are profitable versus which ones are negative EV. We avoid common traps such as min betting and slowplaying, and have the ability to lay it down when we are beat. In general, a winning SSNL'er v. John Q. Fish has a better knowledge of the game, and uses his small advantages to exploit large holes in the games of others.
