Re: something i have been doing of late
[ QUOTE ]
Those extra points come mostly from increasing steals, defence, and isolation. .5/1 is not a very conducive environment to these types of changes. [/ QUOTE ] I think this is exactly right. I, too, would love to be able to transform myself from a 22/17 into a 30/20, and I have tried occasionally to do that at lower limits; but I think the lower limits are precisely the worst places for this style. As for those who wonder why we'd be interested, for me it's simply because it sounds like a lot more fun (and ego-gratifying) to be the intimidating force and also get to play a lot more hands. Still, I also believe that the difference between me and the 30/20 player is primarily blind defense (not even blind steals that much). I suppose what I would really like to be is a 35/25 or a 40/30. Now THAT sounds like a good time, kind of like bungee-jumping (another thing I'm too scared actually to try).

Couple more... 3 limpers, SB comes, and a you have 76s? 2 limpers, SB comes, and you have 74s? 2 limpers, SB folds, and you have 65s? You mentioned it depends on players... you are looking for weak or tight players that might fold to a follow up flop bet? You are usually betting most somewhat unconnected boards on the flop?

Re: something i have been doing of late
Those guys are postflop monsters though.
I was under the impression that a lot of the extra hands from 30/20 come from looser stealing standards on the button and CO in addition to limping along more sometimes.

Re: something i have been doing of late
[ QUOTE ]
I do it frequently, at games ranging from .5/1 to 5/10. It's quite fun and challenging as well. IIRC Daniel Negraneu used to have essays advocating this -- playing nutbar, I think he called it? [/ QUOTE ] It was nutbar. At the goal of the game was to play for x hours and break even. (not counting rakeback...that's a joke...)
