Ok recently i've won a few k so i thought i could justify messing around playing some high stakes limit. I sit at 50/100 Full Ring on stars(although only 5 of us were playing atm) It's pretty obv they think i'm retarded as Enon moves to sit on my left. I play tight at first obv, and it seems that EVERY pot is just raise/call down with ATC.
What the fuck makes these people better than the lower stakes? Is it just the maniac-like aggression?
Also kalmatis seems like a tool here is a HH that i think illustrates my point exactly
