Here is my thought process. I see you with several thousand posts and noticed you post lot (though admittedly my time on 2+2 is very low the last 6 months, so I could be wrong). I assume you're a pretty experienced player. Probably played at least several hundred thousand hands over several years. I also assume as a basic fact a player like you has more talent/skill then 90% of the players at the microstakes (partly based just on your experience). So then I'm wondering why are you still at .05/.10? And then I see a hand like this and I am reminded of the phenomenon in which players who could, by their skill, easily beat microstakes for a decent winrate but are unable to for a number of reasons - an important one being FPS and outleveling themselves from playing the ABC that is needed to crush .5/.10. I think this kind of thing happens to a LOT of good players.
I was thinking this was a relevant point since my general understanding of the 2+2 forums, especially the microstakes part, was to help people get better. Of course that point is slightly less relevant given this is BBV. Also, for all I know you play like 2/4 and 3/6 regularly and were just dicking around. If that were the case, I do think the overall point would be the same, but it probably just wouldn't apply as specifically to you.
