Re: Contributed = looser games
[ QUOTE ]
Your argument has a big flaw. If the good players "adjust" and play a more optimal loose style, how is that really better for anyone? It's not going to make for the same kind of "loose" game you say you enjoy. It's going to be a table full of 30/25 durrrr wannabees.

Looser is better, in practically every player's eyes, IINM. Ask anyone if they would rather play on a looser table or a tighter table, and it will be a rare person who says tighter.
I certainly acknowledge that the knowledgeable players correctly loosening their standards does not convey any advantage to me in terms of my expectation in the game. Others who are less informed will not be so aware.
When a bad player sits down with a bunch of knowledgeable players correctly playing very TAG, he will recognize this fairly quickly and will not be eager to play long or return. The same player sits with a bunch of knowledgeable players playing semi-LAG TAG poker will get more action and it will be easier to for him to fool himself into thinking he has a chance.
