Message: [QUOTE="I Live Poker, post: 7018505, member: 424044"] I have experienced this change, and I can say that changing levels should be done very carefully. Because at the same time we see many terrible players who are even worse than freerollers, who are trying to improve and grow. Some players just have money and want to have fun, with no intention of improving or even without a relevant meaning between poker and their life purpose, just fun. On the other hand, I noticed that there were more players with the same tendencies and statistics as me, also players whose patterns were so well mixed that the game has little room for exploration. Wow, I discovered how difficult and irritating it is to play against me. Joking aside, although not really... The point I want to make here is: When you have a clear opportunity to change limits, I recommend that you take a break, study these limits and tendencies well, prepare yourself psychologically before embarking on this new journey. Something very obvious happened, but sometimes it can be unnoticeable due to lack of attention and preparation. When I played more micros and freerolls, I initially noticed that often with less prepared players the most correct and advanced strategies didn't work, especially bluffing. Phil Evey once said: "never try to bluff someone who isn't paying attention to you". So you end up adapting to this micro and freeroll atmosphere and end up improving your strategy to win. When you move to other limits, the opposite happens. "Although I am a very wild and careless player who does not worry about money pressure or anything like that, there may still be room for doubt and fear due to factors that should not influence your game, such as buying in or possible gains. So all that baggage that you built on your journey based on experience and proven teachings as cutting-edge truths that you learned, which did not work very well, start to work, but fear or greed end up preventing you from making the best decisions, or even due to a lack of coercion to do what needs to be done. Realize the size of this trap: When you do what in theory, experience and practice would be more profitable, with beginner players it does not work effectively due to the lack of meta game and advanced line of reasoning. And when you find a population of players who think a little closer to you, factors external to the intrinsic conception end up hindering performance. All mental, as always. [/QUOTE]
