Saying all 1/2NL players are fish is totally wrong.
I've been playing a private 1/2NL cash game with people who are very good. The table is very hard to beat.
But this weekend, I played some 1/2NL at a casino.
Wow, it was a very different game.
All the fish behavior stuff I've read on these boards finally came true!
People chasing straights with 1 out while hero was betting 50% into the pot.
People calling pot sized with bottom pair....
I tripled my buy in. A good session.
Now, I know what people mean by 1/2 players.
But, private 1/2NL cash games are a different beast.
These guys have been playing for 10 years some of them.
And have read all the books.
