How much of good short play is avoiding good players?
Folded to the SB who is a good regular in the Absolute 2/4 games. SB raises, and I call with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Flop is 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
He bets, I call.
Turn is a 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], he bets, I raise and he three-bets.
I feel like I do fine in these games (maybe better than fine sometimes) as long as I can avoid the better players. I think my game inhabits a sort of B-level spot where I beat the worse players, but allow the aggro TAGs to get under my skin and often pick bad spots to fire back.
