Default Re: Dear uNL: You are not good enough

I agree with the poster in that many micro no limiters see a hand like AJo or KTs and think raise because this is "standard" and it will get their PFR up. However, they don't stop to examine stack sizes, position, stats of other players behind them ETC. before they make EVERY DECISION AT THE TABLE. Sometimes I will open raise a Q5o from the cutoff if the guys behind me are running like nits etc. Do I do this often? NO i do this once every 100 times when the situation is right. Poker is situational and there really is no standard play ever. If there was then we would all get bored of this game and move on to something else. It is not that opening up your range is not profitable, it is that most micro players (including myself most of the time) go on autopilot and don't pay enough attention to WHEN the situation is right to open up.
