OK I fired up the old Dell “Granpa” Dimension" and started with session 2 after doing some careful review of my hands played at these limits. My plan was to tighten up a little more OOP but still open a pretty wide range from CO and BU. I also had to say F*** FOLD EQUITY because its a figment of my imagination here at these limits and only bet for value or c bet flop and lay down…….It sounds weak I know…….but successful. In my next session I managed to not stack off to any of the local fish and was not bleeding out from my 2 barrels getting called by 33 on Q95A boards. These guys just arent letting go of their hands and everything is going to showdown. My THIN RED LINE is taking a beating !!!!!I also realized that these guys just arent bluffing. 3 bets usually means strength and check calls are weak. For my next session Im going to take these principles with me and look for some better places to open up my game. I don’t think I will change the way I play against the fish but I think there is room to exploit some of the many TAGs that populate these tables Till Next Time.

4 months 		You have the right idea with the fish I think. I will just value bet them or make a c-bet where it is fit, but never get out of line with them. Also, bang on about the TAGs. Those are the guys you want to push around a bit. You'll play significantly less pots with them (which you know) so don't "over engineer" your game too much. Value > Advanced Concepts at these levels.

4 months 		"Value> than advanced concepts" Great concept which I applied to my last session and saw some good results. I definitely was over engineering my game and have now found a nice medium to play from and at the same time finding player specific read dependent spots to deviate.
