I'm playing the NL100 game on FTP and the type of play described above is something I rarely, if ever, see.
Sadly, I BARELY play poker anymore. I've been trying to get back into it lately, but lack of great results (i.e. breakeven since last June) and my career taking on a greater meaning have made me lose desire to play. Forcing myself to play for the money was a bad, bad idea.
Anyway, like BL said, the games are just not like that anymore. I agree. I've found a need to be MUCH more creative.
However, in examining my own play recently, I started to wonder if the fact the I seemed to be "contesting every pot" was my downfall. Now, I'm just confused.
WTF?
