Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

Was just wondering, because it seems like the standard continuation bet never work at the micro limit. However, it works ~75% of the time in medium limits.

So is it easier to play solid poker in the medium stakes than micro limits?

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

i play 5 nl and my cont bets always work... out of position even

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

they say theres no such thing as a dumb question; i disagree

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

Odds of getting a serious answer in bbv:

Yes - 1000-1
No - 6/4
Bastard!!! - 1/3

Okay, I'll give you a serious answer.
Micro stakes players don't play as well, they draw out without odds and it's harder to put them on hands because they can play ATC.
If you don't realize how this makes it easier to make money, then you will get slaughtered higher up.

u r joking right?

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

short and long answer: no

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

yep, you're right.
there's a lot more abc poker in lower stakes.
2/4 is far more easier than 25/50, believe.

I'm not willing to overlook it and I'll flame you for it. OP you suck if you can beat 5000nl but not 10nl then consider killing yourself, but I permit you to continue sucking here as long as you keep that avatar.

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

lower stakes are higher variance, since people will be hard to read and often get all the money in when hand values run closer together (i.e. AA vs TT on pre-flop is a closer race than AA vs TT on a flop that didn't improve either)

however the players suck so your winrate will be higher

YEAH MAN 5/10NL = .5/1NL I MADE A POST ON THIS ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

Micro limits are tougher because the players fold less often. It's hard to beat a player that never folds. At the higher stakes, you can just use metagame and put your opponent putting you putting them on a hand and rake in the dough.

i hear the reason high stakes are so easy is because the players are so good that they pretty much always fold

I'd rather beat 5000nl than 10nl

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

it is so much harder at 10nl then 1000nl. Take whatever you have now, or borrow, and sit at 1000nl and all your cbets will be respected.

yah, except you have to wait for x hands before you are dealt the hand they will pay you off because they can't fold etc etc etc, then you hope your table selection has non-nit gamblers etc etc.

Its easier yet its harder because you HAVE to have a hand to win against a calling station ATC (and Omaha A4C) players. You don't have to have a hand to win at higher stakes...etc etc.

with that said I do not prescribe to the "move up 'where the raises are respected'" philosophy. If you can't, long term, come away a winner at .05/.10, you aren't going to come away a winner, long term, at .50/1 or 1/2

I'm in the stages of figuring out how to beat Hold 'Em and Omaha both at .05/.10 - but my patience for hands is what is killing me.

this has nothing to do with the difficulty of the games, more like i would prob kill myself or start open shoving every hand if i played 1k+ hands of microlimits

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

NL200-600 are still relatively as easy as microlimits because fish are still fish.

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

Pretty sure you can play a snug 77/17, at least at the nanos.

100 deeper, ah, better off multi-tabling and staying snugger than that.

And then there's this...

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

I played one session of 200 NL and crushed the game. Then played ~400 hands at at the 50NL and got crushed.

Happens all the time!

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?

Re: Are micro limits harder to play than medium or high stakes?
 

I personally find NL100 the easiest game on the internet and this includes everything &lt;NL100.

Why this is I dont know but I seriously get raped at every [censored] level upto this yet but absolutely destroy NL100.

Someone please tell me why this is.
