Solid and unspectacular

Looking at the bar chart of my stack size over the course of last night's session, nothing really stands out. I played solid, unspectacular poker, and that's just the way I like it. Of course, I don't always get that chance. The style of your opponents largely dictates the style of play which will be effective for you, and sometimes, solid play is not much of an option. That sounds odd, but it's really true. When the rag trade hits town, you're forced to take more chances. I don't mean that you're ever forced to make stupid choices, but if you're playing against highly volatile players, you have to be more volatile yourself in order to keep up. I prefer playing against players who aren't too volatile. They're easier to read, and they're more susceptible to being bluffed. I guess you could say I like playing against players who play like me, only not as well :-)
