I hope it doesn't seem like I'm picking on you BUT I feel it necessary to ask you a question about what you're written above because you're making a statement that is false. (& my offer still stands but have noticed you haven't responded..
)
Don't we want to be getting into pots vs. weak players? I mean isn't that one of our goals when playing a tournament?
If we're choosing to play a TAG (Tight Aggressive) game in early levels, don't we want weak players to call us with 'rag hands'? Isn't that who we make our money from in the longrun? (& in the shortrun).
Why are we busting out vs. a weak player when they suckout with a rag hand in early levels? I mean I get it that it happens. Weak player could be calling us down & then hit their 4-outter while calling 2 streets with a gutshot... or Bottom pair & hitting trips on the river, etc. etc. etc. but in those cases I'd think we're still typically wanting villain to call while behind. Don't we?
"knock you out of these online tournaments"
When you say this I sense a feeling that online tournaments are filled with weak/bad players? That suckouts happen very often? Sure in freerolls & some mirco buyins (especially in early levels) you're going to see some pretty far out stuff... & in any buyin you'll often see some pretty far out crazy stuff (but often when happening it's not as a result of one player playing exceptionally Bad).
My personal experience playing online tournaments is >> the players are generally MUCH better than the ones I find at a casino who are playing the daily $100 tournaments... or the weekend $150's (or weekday $60, $80, $120, etc.). Maybe it's just the places I've played at, & the times of days, buyins & sites I've played at online. idk... (fwiw, I also find online cash game players in the lower buyins seem to be more skilled than the lower buyin tournament players.. & also find the low buyin cash game players are better than the $1/$2 live games (where I play anyways).
Is it different for you? (I'm guessing it is from reading your post unless I'm misinterpretting it)
