200nl crusher comparison
After analysing 200nl Milwaukee2, Jballer88 and Jongreenway, all of which are total 200nl crushers, I am going to review my notes on their sweat session videos and see the common themes. Click their names to see the PTR
They each only display minimal hud stats in hud and pays more attention to gameflow - these are 3 of the biggest 200nl lifetime winners, so perhaps reading too much into stats is over-rated? Or better put, distracting from the more important information available immediately, as in, gameflow, betsize, timing tells, image etc
All avoid short stacks and leave where possible, when they do play vs them raise smaller and also iso raise regs out of the hand to get it in vs them with a strong range
All make alot of notes on any hand esp when goes to sd
All are aware of table dynamics and put more emphasis on stats only when tough decisions are to be made
All are aware of who is left to act behindÂ
All treat coolers well, its part of game, insta makes notes on the hand
They each take time to make every decision
All think about when making 3bet sizing, you need to know what your post flop betsizes to get stacks in. All try to create 3bet dynamic with players and notice their adjustments
Without reads, they usually give up in tough spots and dont try to be a hero. If villain a good player they usually fold marginal hands and avoid getting into tough spots
They all avoid playing big pots with marginal hands OOP
Process orientated  - every hand same routine; his range, your percieved range, the board, position, how big a pot you want play, stacksizes, betsize to get result you want
Keep the fish in the pot at all times, don't push them out
All have a feel for how villain will respond to 3bets before they 3bet
All think about how often % a play has to work for it to show an immediate profit
All think about recent history and table image in current hand
All dont cbet alot in multiway pots if they dont expect folds - more villains = more strength needed
200nl revolves around avoidance, meaning planning your play and avoiding sticky situations that come up alot and having a plan for the future street before it hits.

dude, i searched for 3bet pots, and this post came up
this post is pretty epic, i made a thread on mirco stakes 2+2 about difference from good and bad regs, good being literally every point you mentioned sumed up to basicaly
good regs, think while playing
bad regs, dont think at ALL, they auto pilot constantly,
awesome post imo
