This gets broken down and fails against skilled players who are adept at noticing conservative play styles just like this. It's quickly punished by small pots on what should be big wins. The trick isn't just conservative play, but deceptive and difficult to track play with an underlying trend of conservatism.
- danenania 8y agoI didn't say you should play conservatively, but that you should (generally) manage your bankroll conservatively. These are very different things.
- antisthenes 8y agoPlaying against skilled players is not how money in poker is made. If you're playing against 9 other skilled players, money will mostly move around the table, and the only winner will end up being the casino due to rake. The easiest way to increase profitability in poker is to play against people significantly worse than you are. Not unlike life, where the biggest factor of success is being born in the right country to the right parents.
