Default Re: Can an abc predictable preflop player beat 100-200?

fishboy, your post implies "solid poker" and "solid preflop" are the same thing. Most of the laggy tricky tough players in big games will give action to people who deserve action, and our theoretical tight solid preflop player they will play similarly preflop with a bit of extra hands thrown in because they will be bored and for deception and then destroy the guy after the flop.

It doesn't matter much because your theoretical player hardly exists, you don't become a good preflop player without starting to learn some good postflop things too. You may play 20% of your hands and raise with 12% of them before the flop or whatever but that's not a great preflop player - even preflop is very situational in tough games and the decisions to be made there aren't trivial.
