Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 5642874, member: 289533"] You are following default strategies to play against recreational players, is one possibility. Another possibility is that you are getting tilted, because you are losing a lot for players who are clearly dumb ones, and this irritates you a lot, thus, you cannot play your best game. One more possibility is that you are beginning to level versus recreational players, just because we know that sometimes they play any two cards and go with any value to the river. The problem of the recreational player is that it almost never bluffs and when it calls us postflop, you bet this fish/recreational has something, and we must be very aware of that, they are playing almost 99% of times faced-up, so when they decide to give action to a particular hand it is because they have us beat and we must accept this fact ASAP and muck our hand and wait for another opportunity. I don't follow Nathan William advice anymore, to blow the pot when we are playing versus recreational ones, because the variance has no sides and even the worst player in the world can get a hot streak, a hot session where everything happens on its favor, and when fishes are getting luck, I don't need to throw my blinds away just because of the excuse that the opponents are bad, etc, we know all of that story and we are going to find some ego excuses, for example "in the long run it compensates", but at the micros we are not playing for the long run, we are playing like recreational, sort of it, we are playing to get luck in a short period of time and level up, grind to the next higher stake.
