Message: [QUOTE="IntenseHeat, post: 6007196, member: 92488"] Yeah, I've noticed. That's why I don't play micro stakes. The lowest cash game stakes that I will play is $50NL. While I don't know if I would characterize it as being easier, I would certainly say it's different. Like others have said above, in one way or another, the money at the micro stakes level just isn't enough to make people take the game seriously. In a way it's like the difference between playing a freeroll and playing a $10 buy in tourney. Or, another way I look at it is like this... I have a friend who drops at least $20 every time he walks into a convenience store. One minute we're in the garage and he's talking about how he only got paid for two days that week because it rained the other three. He's telling me how his money is going to be tight for the next few weeks. Then his girlfriend calls him and tells him he needs to go get some milk for breakfast in the morning. He drives to the convenience store goes in and buys a gallon of milk, gets himself a pack of smokes, gets me one (they were only $3 a pack then), buys us each a cold soda, grabs some candy for his kids, then spends the rest on lottery scratchers. He drops a $20 on the counter and tells the guy to keep the change. About an hour later he goes in the house and realizes that he's out of his favorite cereal. So we get in the car and drive to another convenience store that has the cereal he likes. He goes in buys a couple boxes of cereal, another pack of smokes and a bunch of $2 scratch offs. Another $20. He doesn't even scratch the tickets. He puts them in a box in the garage and sits down once a weeks and scratches them all. He doesn't really play poker, thank God. But just imagining someone like him playing in a $2 cash game is enough to keep me out them. [/QUOTE]
