Playing Down to the Level of the Table

I also don't think its an issue of "lowering" your level, just adapting your playing style to the situation, which is the real nitty-gritty of poker.

If you think you need to lower yourself to the table because they're beating you when your playing your "top-game", then your top game isnt very good, is it?

Well, I suppose every site with a message board has it's share of smartasses (or is it smartassi?). It appears everyone else understood the basis of the question...

i would say playing down is never a good idea. a strong player will dictate the table, not let the table dictate him. (very philisophical, eh?)

smartassi. And my comment was just an observation. And I will only say this once: I am not going to retaliate against negativity. It's a waste of TPs money to see us arguing amonst ourselves by posting.

I think the point that Hackers was trying to make was that your "top game" shouldn't be one set style. Your top game should involve adapting to your environment and be able to make smart decisions against all types of players. You shouldn't have to change your game, just make the adaptations that you're capable of making according to the table.
