Hi all! 

Don't get me wrong. I love RIO and I learn a lot every time I log on, but after I got bumped up to Elite membership things haven't been going my way at the tables. 

I have only played 15000 hands so I know it is a small sample and that it is probably just a bad run/ variance. 

But I started to think about if you guys think it is at all possible that you could suffer from watching videos in here with a high level of theory and thought processes and then go on to apply what you have learned to the low stakes? Could you be too elaborate in your bluffs when you are playing 0.10 - 0.25 PLO zoom for instance? I am not saying that I am better than the limit or even that I think I over think some spots, but could it be hurtful to your game if you watch a lot of elite vids when you are playing the micros? --> If people don't get what you are trying to say with your actions your bluffs aren't gonna work. It is kind of like playing soccer against someone who has never played before. You fake going to the right of the person only to go to the left, but the person doesn't get what you are trying to say with your body language so he goes to his right instead of his left and you end up with a broken nose. 

I know that I am supposed to figure out what stuff from the vids that I can use at my particular level, but I still want to know what you guys think. Can it be bad for you? 

Cheers.

P.S. This is not a whining post. Just want to know what others think about this potential issue.

I'm only down a couple of BIs so don't you worry about me. I'll survive.
