I believe that anytime you step out of the box you either run the risk of doing something awfully stupid, but you also have the potential to make some really high end plays as well.
I'm not Durr or Ivey and I know that, however, I am certain that I could find you some hands where if you didn't know who the player was you'd say "That's a mistake a 50NL reg would never ever make."
When your goal is not to learn how to become a "grinder" and you are trying to become really, really, good at the game, you are simply going to make mistakes along the way that people will go, huh??? How bad was THAT! The key is to learn from those hands and I think I'm doing a very good job of that...
not trying to nuthug on DN, but this x1000. Mass multitablers at micros and low stakes don't realize that they're not really getting better. Their fundamentals might be okay, but if they don't play creatively and challenge their lines they are never going to be able to move up. The way to learn is not to grind 15 tables, but cut down on your tables and look at each hand you play more closely. Playing 1 table is probably going to slow down your learning curve though...
