10/20 NL on Stars

[Boobie Lover]

These games are filled with regulars who probably have countless notes and stats on their opponents. It is foolish to just look at two hands and say they are filled with donkeys.

and?

[Spuddy]

All that $$$ in one hand.... sick

[PShabi]

Probably not for them.

When I started playing baby stakes, losing $25 would sting. I would lose sleep on it.

Now, I drop $500 in a night.

It's all relative.

[ChipFish]

The thing to remember as Pshabi already touched on is that it IS all relative...
These guys have large bankrolls...
Since these are cash games, then they are correct in pushing any edge they believe they have... no matter how small.

It would be kinda neat to play comfortably in those games though wouldn't it?
