Default Re: If \"beating the fish\" is so easy...

Be careful about applying the concepts in NLHTAP and other poker books too much at the micro stakes games. The authors didn't write NLTAP assuming that you were playing $25 NL. Much of the advice is assuming that you are facing thinking opponents who play rationally and can fold a good hand in the face of great strength. (Note that the examples in the book are assuming stacks in the thousands of dollars in fairly big games) There's even a specific chapter with a hilighed disclaimer that prefixes it. Don't get cute and you'll be more than fine.
