    I know this may sound a little or alot crazy to some ppl, But i feel as though all of these forums are starting to make ppl play more advanced then they really should. For example I never use to see ppl 3 and 4 bettin half as much as u do now. Also u see ppl thinkin that because they have put a 1/3 of there chips in on a bluff w/ 108 that there commited and dump it all on a shove. Maybe this is just me that thinks this way. Any thoughts?

    I want people to feel committed to a bluff and shove their 10-8 on me.

    If by playing a looser or more aggressive style, my opponent will make more mistakes, I'm OK with them learning some new moves.

    THey aren't ruining tourneys.

    They making the so much better. For those that are playing right.

    THe problem is for people who read some stuff but don't know how to apply it right. (like not walking away from teh bluff where they committed 1/3 of stack.)

    Bring more of them on into my tourney! All it does is increase my stack. Or their stack if I make the spewey play.

    The point is, people need to absorb what they read and not just blindly use it. THey need to understand it and apply it appropriately. FOr those people it's ++++EV.

    For the others? Here fishy fishy.
