probably need a digest of the digest /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Really good stuff and I've narrowed it down to the 2-3 posts per day that really had discussion and situations.
From a cursory review, I think we need to get more comfortable with overpairs and TPTK situations as a whole.

As a result, the focus of this digest will be overpair and top pair hands.

<font color="blue">OVERPAIRS AND TPGK HAND EXAMPLES </font>

NL100 | Standard Overpair (Quiz!) (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Board=ssplnlpoker&amp;Number=861786 2&amp;Searchpage=1&amp;Main=8617862&amp;Words=-Re%3A+Grunch&amp;topic=&amp;Search=true#Post8617862)
Grunch must've anticipated the big theme. His quiz on the first went somewhat unnoticed, but is an appropriate beginning of our journey.

<font color="purple">AA </font> Starting with el numero uno

AA 230bb+ deep (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Board=ssplnlpoker&amp;Number=877796 1&amp;Searchpage=1&amp;Main=8777961&amp;Words=-Re%3A++ejay&amp;topic=&amp;Search=true#Post8777961) by ejay

KQ with TP and position facing a donk flop bet. What to do, what to do.

<font color="purple">Sets </font> that's right...sets are now foldable

Never fold a set (http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat.php?Cat=0&amp;Board=ssplnlpoker&amp;Number=868376 6&amp;Searchpage=1&amp;Main=8683766&amp;Words=-Re%3A++urbanati&amp;topic=&amp;Search=true#Post8683766) Urbanati

BalugaWhale reminds most of us that we aren't good enough to be a LAG. Given the previous threads on overpairs, TPTK, folding sets, c-betting OOP, and resteals, he makes alot of sense. Don't worry, though, there is plenty of money for TAGs!
