I play micro stakes multitable sngs on PokerStars and from what I've seen you can get a slightly positive ROI just from a strong fundamental game, good bankroll management and in general not going crazy. I've been thinking about my perceived at the table and I'm wondering how much thought I should give it?
The reason being most players (because it's microstakes) are probably not paying to much attention to you as an individual player, unless you've recently won/lost a lot of chips or they've been involved with you in a lot of pots.
Starting at the 25c and 50c games and going up from there, at what level would you say most players are actively paying attention to your moves and looking for tells, rather than just playing and watching youtube?
Thanks.
my experience is that there are quite a few players -certainly from $1 up who are at least paying some attention to table image - at least to the extent that if you have been raising lots you are much more likely to get called down light. Certainly by the later stages of 5 and 10$ where you have more competent players then most players will have some awareness of how you've been playing and will try to adjust. So I think always valuable to have some idea of what people will see if they have been paying attention.
One of my bugbears is that people posting here often give reads on others but pretty rarely mention how others might see them. It can make a difference in a close spot.
I play 10-12 tables at a time at $5-10 and some of the sites are without HUD. I just do not have the time to focus on table image unless someone does something too stupid e.g. open shove 100bb pre or pot donkbetting the flop and other weird stuff like that. At your stakes, you assume all are fish unless proven otherwise. It is easy to spot the regs because their range is more reasonable, their bet sizes and do not do weird stuff in crazy situations.
