I hear you, but maybe some of us are born lucky. When I play that way, I just lose faster, so I stopped doing it.

In micro limits though, the idea that the opponent has a mind to get inside of is rarely true.

And just going back to the bully concept, I find it amusing that when if I double up on a guy it has no effect, but if I do it again they frequently get a case of the jitters and stop doing it. Sometimes it takes three times, but only the outright loonies persist, and they are unlikely to keep their chips anyway.

I dunno, maybe you get luckier than me when you try to make things happen. I can only go on my experience, just as you must go on yours. If I never cashed I might be more inclined to change, but when you are ahead you stick with what caused that.

Sorry mate, couldn't resist this......

This tight(ish) player played the same micro limit tourney today and yesterday, PL Texas, $1.10, at Poker4Ever, only 22/18 players, but still a micro MTT.

Won 'em both. That's two days running!
