Default Re: Something I have been thinking about

[ QUOTE ]
Another thought and question.

When I was first taking beatings at 5/10 this mantra helped me. "people are not taking shots at me, people are not taking shots at me, people are not taking shots at me...." (I forget who posted it but thanks)

But sometimes, some players really do take shots at me (not as frequently as I first suspected). Hell, sometimes I take shots at TAGs who auto bet the flop and turn after a PFR who have backed down to aggession unwilling to showdown A or K high heads-up (likely easier for me than the 40/10 asstards who typically attempt it).

The question. Is it better to make those adjustments (assuming they are reasonable in the first place) or to just find a better table?

I'm thinking adjusting is better for long term improvement. Certainly in live play, but it is just so easy to find another table online.

Doc,

Depending on the texture of the board, I do this too. I think it is both profiable and necessary. I think you have done this to me.

I agree it is a big on-line world. But it is still small enough at the 5/10, 10/20 level... where I see a lot of the same faces. So I think used within reason you are on the right track with your thought.
