Has anyone found a bit higher stakes easier than micro-stakes?

It is not easier, but more predictable, and for me it is easierr to make a profit there, in micro people call with all dort of garbage hands and somehow always get there

Easier is the wrong word, it is a little bit an other game, and you must change your attitude of the game. The best example is the bet values, in higher stakes its enough to raise 2-3bb to eliminate the oppenent. In microstakes the player did not realize the sign and you must bet 7 bb or more to achieve the same goal as in highstake. Another fact is bluffing, in highstakes you the player think about the spot and realize this hand is not worth to call in microstakes the player call everything and to realize a bluff is more difficult to build.

Agreed. They are just different games in the end. So it makes sense that some people find one easier or more enjoyable than the other.

I don't think it's easier, but most of them are professional players. And decision making is usually more rational in my opinion. But you also have the best players in the game.

10000% higher stakes games are easier to play because people play by the ‘rules’ as it were or logically. They are not smashing it in with 10 3 off because they lost a pot usually. They don’t think every other player is bluffing and they don’t have trouble folding their big blind or pocket 2s.

They understand position and bet sizing, pot odds.

Micro stakes player are just that playing for micro stakes so not much to lose, they are impossible to read because they play so erratically - limping then calling a pot bet raise with 58 because they’ve got bigger balls than you ok? 😂. Then magically hitting a straight which puts your obvious AA out of commission and you flabbergasted because who the hell would call a 3x re raise with 58??

Maybe not easier but more predictable and not as crazy you aren’t fending off all ins every other hand, people play the game instead of bingo. If you know the game micro stakes can be really head mashing because the plays make absolutely no sense and the players could literally have anything. But saying that once you have sat and watched them for a bit their tells are super easy to see, and you can trap them easy
