Your topic was likely taken sensitively because of how it was worded plus a common theme among some beginners @ the micro stakes is that the fundamental rules go out the window and they'd be better off moving up ... even though they can't beat the easiest games.

I would suspect there are several things that do apply at higher levels and not lower levels, but not everything and maybe not most things.

I agree that it is important to bounce ideas and follow threads of those who are in a similar situation, but obviously being open minded about all advice is the best way to go. I get irritated in threads when someone says someone else is absolutely WRONG about something related to poker. Who knows who is right? We're all always in a discovery process in a very dynamic game.
