| Discussion: Low stakes Vs High Stakes Player Level of Play A friend loaned me Doyle Brunson's Super System Book today and I was reading the first chapter when I came across this little tidbit...
Excerpt quoted from Doyle Brunson's Super System Book Yet, paradoxically, Poker becomes easier the higher the stakes of the game, at least in games where Professionals are invovled.
Down in the low-limit games, the Professionals who are involved don't have much money, and what they do have they're trying to keep for a stake and to live on. So they're playing the best Poker they know how to play.
But tip in the high stakes games you encounter big businessmen, bookies, hotel owners, millionaires...and they're playing for entertainment. And they are not playing hard. I see so many times on here people talking about not moving up to high stakes games because of the level of play or if you aren't beating low stakes then don't move up.
There are so many rebuttals to argue this point either way so let's hear them.
