Re: How much of good short play is avoiding good players?
They feel the same way about you.
I normally play these hands like I have a pair right up front on the flop. It's much more consistent with your normal way of playing than waiting for the turn.
You make money off of making other players mistakes, the better players make fewer mistakes or cause others to make more mistakes. So you do not make as much or anything them against them because they make few mistakes versus you or they cause you to make more mistakes(or just bigger ones) than they do. So avoiding the better players is not a bad deal at all. With that said most of these guys do make mistakes thye just don't make the terrible ones that the fish do. Sometimes they don't defend enough, sometimes they are a little too agg, or too pasive, or they miss a value bet every now and then. So if you can play well you still make something.
