Default Re: Is it even worth playinig micro-limit HE online?

Just because 3 people are in the pot on every hand doesn't mean the table isn't good.

Not super-duper juicy. But to just think that all the players are roughly of equal skill and are just passing pots back and forth because they all do the same thing is REALLY incorrect.
There are lots of mediocre to not-complete-horrible limit players online. There really aren't many who I would descirbe as 'pretty good'. And even fewer who are even sharper than that.

Seriously, there are so many post-flop decisions to be made and SO many of them are NOT automatic.
If you aren't seeing SEVERAL mistakes in just one orbit at almost any table (iffy call-downs or semi-bluffs, checking-through when there was clear value in a river-bet, etc) then you just aren't looking hard enough...or, more likely, you just don't know what to look for.

The games are incredibly beatable.

Many tables with averages of 22/10 or something will still have a couple players who are in the 14/4 range which is extremely exploitable as well as some 33/8's who make lousy post-flop mistakes.


This isn't to say that NL isn't 'better' or 'more profitable' or whatever.
Just arguing against the notion that all these limit players are pretty much playing the same game and are therefore mostly unbeatable against each other.

Want to beat these games? Get better (and run hot too, that always helps).
