Interesting situation
I just posted a question about light 3-betting and now I'd like to put another situation that I am finding challenging t
To "Always Fondling", I am going to politely ask you to not reply at all on my threads. I've posted on this site about a half-dozen times and every time you add your $.02, it's just not very useful to me. It's typically some sort of condescending or extremely opinionated post that just doesn't provide any value.
Maybe post to a private blog or pay for individualized coaching if you don't want better players on a open message forum pointing out your mistakes for others to learn from?
It's not all about you, Buttercup.

Look, I have no problem whatsoever with players offering me their thoughts. The reason I have singled you out is because you really don't have anything to offer that's worthwhile other than a rude disposition. So although it's certainly not all about me, one would think in the interests of respect that you might be able find something else to do other than be irritating.
And I hope you don't include yourself in the category of "better players." In my experience, the really good, solid players are typically (not always, but typically) pretty humble and respectful. When you're good at something, you don't have anything to prove. Think about it...buttercup. :-)
What do you do when you're pretty card-dead not catching much to work with and you have a couple of calling stations at the table?
I just wait until I have something to work with.
The most basic and easy aspect of beating low stakes fish-fests is patience. I've lost track of how many players I've seen who're probably better than me on paper get stacked for no reason other than they got bored and started donking around and trying to force the hand to go the way they want.
Marcusio - I think you inadvertantly stumbled on the different between GTO in theory and Poker in practice though. I wouldnt advise adhering to GTO against most lineups even in a 5/10 game. GTO Strategy by definition would be an unexpliitable approach to the game but the assumptions used that formulate the strategy are based on the opponent also being unexploitable. The compute
BB, everything you've said I completely understand. When I first started taking this game seriously, I followed Daniel Negreanu religiously and read incessantly about what GTO is and what it isn't. I do, however, believe that having opening hands based in GTO is an ideal starting point from which a player should deviate from when certain tendencies are identified. IMO, the #1 bleed from players is opening too wide from various positions, but if you learn to start out of the gate with hands that are generally stronger and more balanced than everyone else's, then you have an edge from the very beginning. Having said that, as you noted, no one plays perfect GTO and they are always going to be exploitable to a degree. The trick is in identifying where those exploits are and then executing a strategy to take advantage of them.
yeah it all wildly (and maybe superficially) tracks that dunning-krueger bell curve meme too it feels like
