I have recently played in a game different than the 1 dollar 2 dollar game i am use too. This game was a 2 and 5 dollar game. Limits i am not use to play because of my bank roll. I have recently played and did well due to the fact of the play. When you play higher limits the way the
players play is totally different. I guess it is the way i value money these days verses when i was young. I have learned you can not push someone off their hand in a 1 dollar 2 dollar blind structure. I had a couple pots in this 2 dollar 5 dollar blind game i won just by making a move on the pot. I realized early that these players put value in their big hands and big draws but little pots. Well i mean like 40 dollar pots you can win on the flop by a bet or on the turn with a re raise or on the river with an over bet. These players play well and make good calls like with middle pair and read the player as a bluff. This game suits my game well because pre flop there is like 30 to 80 dollars in the pot at all times. These pots are worth stealing and also when you hit the hand you will usually get paid off. I raise make moves and this will make the players look like i am strong but really weak. Then i make the same play twice or three even 5 times and eventually these players get mad and will call you. Hopefully they call you when u have the nuts. The play is better due to the players you are playing have the ability to lay a hand down. These players value their hand well but also have discipline to lay down an open ended straight going into the river. Over all the play is better and the players trap well and make moves. This is where the game is play. I love big limits now. I probably will not play for another 6 months but the game is great. Do you think that the limits make a difference or just the players? I think it is the limit by far.

may you have big pots,
