Re: The Life and Times of Arnord Snyder
Arnold is to blackjack what David is to poker. He's now written a pretty good book about low buy-in poker tournaments.
Google "Arnold Snyder" and you can find his website.

Re: Multi-tabling at Absolute (NC)
The max at Absolute is 6 tables and it works fine playing that many. I don't play the micro games but they look good in the lobby. There are 7 .5/1 6-max tables right now with % to see flop ranging...

Re: Absolute bonus
One caveat is that there are almost never 4 tables of 2/4 6-max at Absolute - it's 1/2 or 3/6. Maybe that will change with all the new players coming in.

Re: AQo on a sweet and sour flop.
You most likely have the best hand now. Your hand is vulnerable. So play it fast - raise!
It's also very likely that we're showing this down.

Re: AJs UI vs LAG
I think raising the flop is better. You had the initiative pre-flop and it's best to keep it if you can.
The problem with the turn raise is that you are going to have to call the 3-bet.

What's his post-flop agression number? Knowing that might help here.
If he will ever fold a pair, then raise on some street. You have an equity edge on the flop and good bluffing opportunities...
