Re: Best book for NL$100s?
I didn't understand it at first either. By taking the worst of it on those "freerolls" he is really helping his metagame. His opponents will respect his play much more. They're not going to raise him out of pots as much because they know he'll push with only an inside straight draw or something like that.
Believe me, I had the same though as you. Wouldn't he make even more money if he didn't make those -EV plays? In the short term yes, but his opponents would catch on and his metagame would suffer. And keep in mind, much of the advice in SS doesn't apply to us. Low limit online poker players don't pay attention to their opponents, so need to worry about metagame.
