no. it's better to be closer to 100% likely to drag several small pots than it is to have players chase you down for a sub-optimal chance at a big pot.

You're welcome to take on the big scores. While you're dragging the occasional 25-30BB pot, i'll chip away at the regular 5-7BB pots and we'll see who gets richer first.

A pretty naff example of this is in super/system.

*laughing* well I'd like to see the game where you have close to a hundred percent chance of dragging most of your small pots.

I think the better point is that all kinds of game textures can be profitable. In the games where the pots are routinely huge and you have trouble driving people out, well you may win fewer pots but its nice to drag those monsters. In the less raucous games where you have good control over the table and can drag a lot of small pots...well that's good too.

Recognizing and adjusting to the table...not a bad way to play.
