Default how much better are you than a Mid stakes grinder (semi low content)

So, I'm in Asia so I play during weird hours when often times at 10/20 there are 6 tables with 5-6 regs on them and maybe a 30/10 single tabling, a Midstakes player or 2 taking a shot on a few tables or a person with TAG stats that is only sitting at one table (thus I assume is not a pro).

Do all the regs think they are better than eachother?

Do you feel you have an edge vs the mid stakes players? If u sat at 10/20 with five 2/4 and 3/6 regs how mang PTBB/100 do you think you could make?

Are you making much profit by sitting with "bad" 22/14 players (like the guys only sitting at one table)?

Are there regs at your standard level 5/10+ that you feel are significantly +EV vs you?

Thanks.

Personally for me I feel that if I sat with the 5 worst (but still profitable) 3/6 regs at my tables I'd maybe be +1.5 or 2BB/100. Just wondering if any of u guys have such a tight game that you can do better than that vs 5/10-25/50 regs.

most guys just want to play the biggest game available and don't want to drop down even if its higher EV. to quote Casino "Ichikowa looked at it as losing $90,000 instead of winning $10,000".

You always can get better and increase your edge over the regulars. Eventually you get good enough to where you edge is pretty big. The 10/20 regulars online arent perfect players, they still make mistakes. The way poker works is that it is very hard to get perfect, the game simply gets more complicated the closer you think you are to perfection. There's always ample room to outplay another player. I know I could be a much better player than I am now, even though I demolish any 5/10 NL table live.

I would think there are a lot of people that show up to 10/20 with their last 400-800 bucks and drop it playing the short stack.....that would certainly pad the coffers of the regulars. tell me if im off?
