~In poker you can choose your limit that fits your skills and what you are comfortable with. You can play small stakes and take money from a lot of donks. When you rise up the limits, it will get harder to make some money and you are probably the donk then Grin If you play high-stakes poker with small stakes skills, you will probably have to file for bankruptcy very soon.

I play small stakes poker normally. Yes, I participated in tournaments with 0.01 BTC buy-in 4 times, but I was either awarded with a ticket, or I won it in a satellite. I would never buy such an expensive ticket with my own money. And 0.01 BTC buy-in is still far from high-stakes poker, so I can say that I have no experience in playing high-stakes poker.

But if you do have such experience, can you please confirm or deny my theory regarding the high stakes poker players' aggressiveness, which helps them to win in many cases.

I think it's not so much their skills as their wealth is what helps them to play aggressively, and win as a result. If you can easily afford to lose a $10k buy-in, it gives you an advantage over those for whom it's a big money. Imo, they wouldn't look so skillful under equal conditions.

What are your thoughts on this theory?
