Default Re: Fantasy Ethics Question

Most people suck at poker, be they $.10/.20 players or $40/80 players. I think around $100/200 online, you get to a level where most players are at least somewhat competent. The fact that someone plays $10/20 in no way indicates that they're a good player. Perhaps some $10/20 players started playing micro-limits with a $100 bankroll and built from there. Most $10/20 players got to that level by virtue of the fact that they have a job which allows them to throw off $500 or so about once a month, which is how often they play anyway.

Anyway, if you put a typical $10/20 player in a $.50/1.00 game, he is going to play poorly. It doesn't matter if he ten-tables $10/20 for a living--if you put him in the micro game, he's going to play like a monkey. It's very difficult to take small games seriously when you're used to playing much bigger. You should be welcoming those guys.

I'm pretty sure that the only person who has ever vomited on me is me.
