In 17 years, most poker players will probably be over 50. Sad but true.Originally Posted by HoodedN
It was an interesting experience learning to adjust to the weird playstyles in this event. For example, I noticed that it was easier/safer to steal blinds in middle-late position, because most of these guys don't 3-bet light. So it's not like the regular NL events where some 27-year-old 3-bets my face off with 6s7s from the SB because I'm opening from the cutoff and believes I probably have shit, and is re-stealing. However, from early and early-middle, I found I had to be tighter than usual, because I would get cold called a lot, it would be hard to bet them off flops, and sometimes they'd take odd lines with super-slowplaying big hands.
One exception I found to "not 3-bet light" was pocket pairs. Some of the olds were 3-betting early raisers with 66 as if they're holding AA, and others were terrified to 3-bet with anything less than QQ, and were flatting even JJ to your late position raise.
As BCR described, it was sometimes tough to put these guys on a hand. However, it was easier than usual to extract value and to blind steal.
