Thanks for your time and input. Both are appreciated!!

2 quick questions for you:

1. You mentioned BR mgmt and moving up and down as a big part of your improvement. I'm wondering if this also includes having a bigger role than the normal 20-30 buyins for your current level, and/or not taking a shot until you reach a certain BR level?

2. (add on to Hitnrun's ?) With the tighter style, are you sticking to the normal 4BB + 1 per limper, or are you raising more or less in certain situations, like the example you used with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] vs. button steal above?

Thanks again!

1) I took shots at 18+ buyins in the past, but I really prefer just beating a game until you have 25+ buyins for the limit above, and then just moving up completely and seeing how it goes. There are a lot of ways to manage a roll successfully, but for me safer is better. (but not grossly safe like 50+ buyins, ew)

2) I don't know what you mean by "vs button steal", but no, I will raise generally 3.5xbb+1 as i said before. Sometimes, if there are a lot of limpers or something, I may either A) limp behind or B) raise like 1bb less than the rule or something like so that I don't create an absolutely massive pot. Usually I just stick with the rule though.
