Didn't see this first time through. It's indirectly covered in the forthcoming book in several ways.

Sorry about that. We're rewriting furiously and still have some new stuff to put in, but mostly because we're creating room by slashing words right and left.

Hi Dan.

If you are playing online, and you automatically take note of anyone who

1) minraises preflop
2) raises or reraises significantly more than the pot preflop (exception: from the blinds)

and note down ENORMOUS FISH PLAY ANYTIME ANYWHERE, and follow him to every table until he is busto, that will be more +EV than any of the adjustments you describe.

Hi creed,

Thanks for the excellent advice. In the past, I was only trying to play at tables filled with good players, so I could practice all my skillz. I would seek out the very best tables filled with tough tags, and go to war. However, this idea of playing with bad players seems appealing and intesting to me.... I'm curious, do you find your winrate to increase when playing with bad players? Or is that only luck? I am having some troubles with these bad players, since they dont seem to respect my raises, and they overvalue the showdown value of midpair vs my river checkraise bluffs.

Yours forever, Dan

great post, thanks for this.

Someone is very soundly beating a 6-max NL game if they make 1 big blind (real, not PT) per round at a full table.

I'm not saying that proves anything by itself because winrates should go up with deeper stacks, but if you end up throwing away a few big blinds here and there you could be screwed.

This reminds me of when i was playing .01-.02 NL at UB uncapped. I had a 1k stack and was covered. Big stacked pushed preflop, I call and win with KK for a 100,000 BB pot.

I don't know what this story has to do with anything, I just wanted to brag
