Message: [QUOTE="SPANKYSN, post: 7156731, member: 25718"] Many pros would rather play against another pro than an amateur at the final table. Why? Because it is harder to predict their play patterns. I find it easier to play in the higher stakes games, and I usually do better in them than low micro stakes or freerolls. Players have a tendency to be reckless and chase hands...and they are going to hit them from time to time. Players play discreetly when they have some skin in the game...they have to play to a higher level, or their bankroll will disappear in short order. In order to avoid large numbers of "Inside straight" chasers, you play higher stakes...are there unpredictable players at the higher stakes? Yes, but far fewer. To combat the unpredictable players, stay patient...throw garbage away and play big hands aggressively. [/QUOTE]
