I've noticed tables at micros don't stay together long enough for anyone to really get a read on anyone else anyways. It is rare to make it past 30 hands before the table breaks or I realize there aren't enough donks to justify sticking around.

Back to balancing.. I was thinking of a hand that Arnold Snyder brings up in his book "Poker Tournament Formula where early in an MTT a traditionally very conservative player, Mark Seif, opens UTG.. is reraised.. the author folds his normally playable hand because he thinks Seif must have a hand like AK, QQ+ and will likely felt PF here. Seif smooth calls.. the board is two-tone with low cards.. Seif ends up calling (correctly) an all-in and flips up something like 24s, having SD and FD... the other guy had QQ and the whole table was shocked at Seif's hand.

Is that balancing?
