Seriously.
I was playing .50/$1 @ $100 games and doing great until a major Tilt/lack of discipline on my part cost me a massive chunk of my bankroll. My opponents didnt defeat me, I defeated myself. I know that may sound arrogant but I swear it was the truth.
Anyways I planned to drop down to microstakes Poker to grind my bankroll back up to teach me some discipline and to punish myself for playing like a complete idiot.
Problem is....I was having an easier time playing at $100. These microstakes players are just wild. At least at $100 I felt like people were playing with skill and actually thinking about the consequences behind their actions.
But at microstakes the unpredictability just seems too high. Im seeing people go all in with 2-7 off suit. I'm seeing caution thrown to the wind.
Dont get me wrong, I have profited off these wild players. I went from $2 to $12 on a .001/.002 table yesterday.
But more often than not I'm kind of scared of these maniacs A few times these wild plays have completely caught me off guard and I feel Im not maximizing my profits.
How do you guys approach the micro stakes games and how should someone who played at higher stakes adjust to them?
I like to think I mix up my play style, but I would say I'm still more conservative/tight than anything.
