Silver Level
I’ve realized that the different levels of poker are extremely opposing which is obvious due to the money involved, the interesting thing is that the strategies going into the games are very different. Example, Phil Ivey sits down at a 1/2 game. There’s a good chance Phil would do bad for awhile due to his level of play and strategies. Bluffs don’t work very well at 1/2, because most people are calling stations. so value betting is the optional way to make money. Also, players almost NEVER bluff check re-raise at low level. On the opposing side players won’t fold either to check-reraise because they just don’t think about it at low level. Higher level players always have a hard time calling big river bets. Very interesting how the play at different levels changes, but it makes sense in the end. When players are too tight, bluff more, when they’re loose, value bet.
