Tournaments charge rake (8-15%) if you face players of the same level as you, just by rake you will already be a pretty losing player.

Therefore, you need to decide where your opponents are most weaker you - the weaker the better! - and play only that field. Until you get better and can evolve.



The truth is that you must adjust your game against bad players to the point of exploiting them the best way possible.

If he has any frequency imbalance, if he plays with a crazy range, he will miss so much that the chips will fall into your lap.

To be a constant winner, playing inside the bankroll is essential. It is not easy to play correctly when playing out of your limit and when the loss (or gain) makes a big difference bigger than it should. Play on the bubble or in the end of a tournament above what you can afford will inevitably affect your decisions, almost always negatively.

This is very true! If you take the tenth best player in the world and have him only play against the nine in the world that are better than him, that first player will be losing! So important to play in games where we have an advantage, and to be humble enough to recognize when that isn’t the case! :)

So maybe you should only play against players that are better than you.

If your theory holds up you will be the lucky one:)

Always leave a huge margin of safety. Not for conservatism, but for a psychological reason many times ignored if you feel the players get lucky :)
