PFR Sizing Question - good adjustment?

is dumbfounded at the advice about nitting it up for experienced players dropping down to 2nl. We can hand read, we can get really fat value, we can recognize when we are beat and fold a street early , we can approximate roughly how much equity we have ,. we can spot and exploit opponents leaks.why rob ourselves of the chance to use those skills?

Having said that , if you are learning/relearning the game , then yeah nit it up , and learn how to use those skills with a strong hand range.for those thinking he doesn't know what it like , i've done a mini challenge the last few days 11k hands 10 tabling 2nl FR tables at stars playing 30/23 8% 3bet 12% 4bet with a 34.7bb/100 winrate.

Maybe I should play some more 2NL - your recent minichallenge stats are very impressive. I find it hard to handread when the players are so passive and such stations - a call can mean almost anything, from bare overs to a monster.

thats the point though , marginal hands we bet smaller, we pot control and they CALL or slowplay with their monsters. they don't get the value for their hand, we are playing for stacks with our monsters and the really fat value and massive winrates come from getting stacks with our monsters.I posted this hand in Robb's blog but it demonstrates what i mean. This was a full ring table where i'd allready taken a stack off villain and
villain is now 67/33 50% 3bet over 18 6 handed hands.

Nice hand, sizing is excellent.

I see what you mean, it's probably about having a mentality of still pot controlling mid-strength stuff rather than assuming that because it's 2NL we can play for stacks with TPTK type hands.
