Re: $11: Should I even be playing?

I could be mistaken but in the trout game I was at a few months ago it seemed more like a place were good players go to relax and play loosely/strangely/recklessly/maniac-poker.

I've played in many trout games and only a few have been hyper aggressive.
I think for the most part, just about everybody is playing to win. Some calls might look wrong and some plays seem out-of-the-ordinary for a lower buy-in ABC player (not suggesting you're a lower buy-in ABC player) but we've played against each other often.
This means having reads that have been developed over many games, not 20 minutes. This sometimes results in calling off your stack with less than the nuts, or folding pocket Q's pre-flop.

If this isn't educational poker, I don't know what is. Of course, maybe I'm just a donk... [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
