Nobody is playing for a living at those stakes, I guess he was still learning at that time. It would make his basic analysis easier to bear out though. At those stakes the bad players are loose and passive, and simply playing tight and aggressive is a winning strategy.

There are no sharks at those tables.

Lol. It's 2017. At $25 every table has 8 eastern europe "sharks".

Really? I hoped so many years after the boom died it would become more relaxing again. Maybe good old times really never come back.

straightforward tight-aggressive is a slightly losing strategy at these stakes due to rake (mostly because the other 8 players at the table are also using it)

Also, at 25nl there are many who play for living, as $500 is a decent salary to them
