I'm in. Probably not for as many hands as you, as my bankroll isn't as deep, but definitely in.

I'm at work and don't have time for a real post in this thread, but

- start thinking about particular ways in which opponents react badly to your LAG play.
- some people call any size raise PF, so you can punish/isolate them
- some people call surprisingly large bets on the flop and then fold surprisingly small bets on the turn .. figuring out the smallest amt. that villains will fold for seems much more important.
- in my limited experience, people open their raising and calling standards preflop, but not their reraising standards.
- lots of people get way more tenacious on the flop, but not so much on the turn.

for me, this takes a lot more discipline than my normal game. as someone said in the other thread, people call you down with 2nd pair all the time and you suddenly convince yourself that TPTK is a monster and you get stacked. the "small" pots are much larger, but it's still "small pots with small hands and big pots with big hands."

most people just won't play back at you too much, even if you get caught. and if they do play back at you, they'll probably only play back at you for a hand or two and then go back into their shell.

i get reads on people a lot faster because i'm playing a lot more hands against them.

back to work for me.
