stormtrooper really hit the nail on the head...
he actually made it sound very basic and simple...
i find at higher limits the play def has a more random feel to it... alot of 9 3's and dead flops, much like playing at a live casino...
at the lower limits i'm like a card rack, and when i step up to the higher limits it seems that those sweet hands are very rare, which i don't mind it keeps you sharp...
i also agree about spotting these "trap" hands scenerios, i've played alot of hands on full tilt and i feel i am almost pro at spotting these scenerios, it's always a plus to be and i quote a "scared" player, it's not like i'm scared to play , for example, if i'm dealt kings under the gun and i overbet raise and someone calls me and the flop doesn't look intimidating for kk... say like 5 10 8, now any good player should already be thinking of possible hands that can have him beat, like pocket 5's 10's or 8's or the draw hands like 7 9 or q10... most of the time i'm in the right ballpark at where my hand stands, and i def hit the brakes to see what the other player does... bieng wreckless and firing away at it takes the control completely out of your hands... the one thing in poker you must remember is you can always fold... its the only guarentee...
maybe because i've played so many hands and seen so many "rigged" situations i am able to spot these scenerios and get away from em... stormtrooper really put it into perspective for me...
