How many hands do you play per session?
What is your average variance, in + - buy ins per session?
Does the agression factor actually tell anything? ...is 5+ too much?
Do you quit the tables once theres under 4 players ( considering you play 6 handed tables )
What do you look for when joinning tables and why?
What makes you overbet a pot?( not an AI)
thats about it for now /images/graemlins/smile.gif

An embarassing amount. I probably play like 3k a day or something silly. School's out for the summer...

I'm not sure what average variance means; I think variance, by definition, defies averages. I swing up and down 4 or 5 buy-ins sometimes, though.

Someone else will answer this better than I can.

No, I don't mind playing short-handed, even heads up, and I don't like giving up my large chip stack (if I have it).

(1) Known fish, (2) High avg pot size. Reasons should be obvious

If I think they'll call it. If the guy is a total station and I put him on top pair and I have a set or something, I'll sometimes bet a few more bucks than the pot.

I don't know if I'm the average poker player, but here it goes.
How many hands do you play per session?
600-1000 per session, about 2k a day
What is your average variance, in + - buy ins per session?
I don't know
Does the agression factor actually tell anything? ...is 5+ too much?
Yes, it tells you how aggro they are postflop. I tend to look at street aggression as well.
Do you quit the tables once theres under 4 players ( considering you play 6 handed tables )
Nope, if we still have stacks and the matchup seems good, I'll still play 3-handed. HU usually not.
What do you look for when joinning tables and why?
Pot size + stack sizes + players to flop
What makes you overbet a pot?( not an AI)
When I know someone will call it?

I look for medium stack sizes...
Example People that play 10NL with 4-7$ stacks, these people dont really know what they are doing because they dont reload, and they play a fairly predictable style because their stack isnt so low they push weak and not so high they bully up and push weak
I see the benefit of stacking big stacks, but my method seems lower variance, thoughts?

Varies wildly.

I don't know exactly what you're asking, but I usually stop loss at 3-4 BIs. If the game is good I might go 1-2 more. I rarely have a stop-win, just when the fish leave.

I try and find tables with as few as possible. 3 is ideal.

See above. Also, people I know and tables with lots of money. Edit: a few shortstacks (on tables with few people) are nice too. They're just looking to get the money in and you can mop those up usually.

I very rarely OB, if I am, it's something like having AA and going 3-4 bets PF and a ragged flop, might as well overbet there KK isn't folding.
