1. Early on in the thread you mentioned double checking your line versus PioSolver. I've often wondered how come you don't see that many 50nl+ hands in the strategy forums. Is it due to the fact that when people hit these levels they tend to have a pretty good handle on exploitative play and instead query solvers in order to learn how to play more optimally or is there another reason do you think?
2. You mentioned that you came up through PokerStars and were playing at least as low as 25nl at one point. Can you remember any observations you noticed about the various levels as you went through them from 25nl up and how they differed from each other? Which was the most difficult jump to make for you? Is there any major difference between 100nl and 200nl in 2018?
1. Tbh I think it's more because people playing meaningful stakes value secrecy more than helping others whilst getting nothing in return.
2. Didn't notice a huge jump from any one limit onto the next tbh. Yea, I would say there is a difference between 100nl and 200nl in 2018. A lot of the best 200nl players also play up to 1knl or even 2knl. Where as there's plenty of rubbish 100nl regs that mostly play 25nl and 50nl and never take up seats at 200nl+.
Went to Stirling University as my friend was hosting a language learning event as part of his management course. Everyone there got to choose from a 1 hour lesson in Japanese, Arabic, German or Dutch from a native speaker ( International student at the Uni volunteering for this event) I came with the intention of getting a German lesson, but as I already know basic German, and because I'm a huge Europhile, I decided to get a 1 hour Dutch lesson.
I then got a couple of crepes and some ice-cream when I went back from the campus into town. They were absolutely amazing! If the proprietor of that cafe was a Dutchman I would have been able to tell him "Alsof er een engeltje over je tong piest"
Alas, as is the standard in Scotland, the proprietor of that cafe was an Italian man.
