So I've been playing "small ball" for years before it had a name. What surprises me is how many people don't recognize it or do little to stop it. Maybe this changes at higher levels, but I played a $1/$2nl B&M game last night that was typical. I'd pay my $2 to see a flop with some crap like 4/8os, and 9x out of 10 there'd be no raise. Every now & then I'd hit the flop, and wind up cracking someone's A/J, which would then make me "a donkey". "How can he play 4/8??" Not sure why I really want to share how to beat me:joyman: , but if someone is seeing *every* flop, you *have* to raise. One guy seemed to have caught on (eventually), and he started raising occasionally, so I'd lose my $2, but I'm just surprised more people don't do that. Or is small ball uncommon?
