Level of thinking
 

Simple question, what is the level of thinking, in general,of NL 5/10c players out there
Zeroth: what i have
1st: what i think he has
2cnd: what i think he thinks i have
3rd: what i think he thinks i think he has
etc

Im reading some theory about the concept in No limit Holdem: Theory and practice and was wandering what was the best level to be or other ways to determine which one best applies to a situation

zero

could you elaborate ?

Re: Level of thinking
 

well you should mostly be on level 1, as most players at 10nl are at level 0. but occasionally you'll run into some regs who somewhat think level 1.

Re: Level of thinking
 

sounds good, while were at it at what stakes would you say i would start using lvl 1-2 more often?

Re: Level of thinking
 

It just depends. With PT and pahud, you can differentiate between players more quickly, and use 2nd or 3rd level thinking against good tags or lags, and 1st level against fish. That's really the way to do it, judge by player, not by level. You'll use every level of thinking all the way up the poker ladder (just against different types of players).
