Re: Where the !*$# is Valuetown??
WRT your comment pokey, I really don't think you have to worry about metagame too much vs. 68/9s like this guy. While it's true that they're almost always playing 1 table, so they can pay attention better, they rarely stick around for more than ~100 hands, during which time you're gonna fire like 5 or 6 cbets or so, basically not enough time for them to really pick up a read if they were paying attention. I guess other players at the table might pick up on it, but people tend to pay much less attention when they're not in a hand. I'm still pretty sure you're missing out on a bit of value against someone who calls as much as this guy does.
Your comment about AA not being the nuts is spot on and something that I need to remind myself fairly often.
Also, do you change the size of your cbets depending on the texture of the flop? I'll bet as little as 1/2 pot on a paired board or something really dry, and as much as pot on something drawy against people who are aware of proper drawing odds (with air and made hands) or against people who can't fold any draw (only with made hands obv)
