Re: 25NL: simple preflop spot with AQs

Hmm, I'm a donkey because I'd call with many suited aces here. The queen is just a bonus. I'm careful with an A-high flop, but this seems like an entre into a multiway pot with a good suited ace...

Re: 10NL 6max--is there any way to avoid this

oh, I've discovered that you can checkraise this flop at 25nl and get the hand over with. He 3bets you if he really hit, and you're out cheap. That's also good to discourage cbets against you.

Re: 10NL 6max--is there any way to avoid this

yeah, 2pr from the big blind drives me crazy. It never seems to hold up.

Re: 100nl or nl100

in some fonts, like the one pstars uses, 10nl is much clearer than nl10. NL10 isn't as bad, but I'm too lazy to hit the shift key that often.

Re: 6max vs. full ring

I don't know about that. I had seriously plateaued at 9-handed, switched to 6-max and started making money again, very consistently. I think the main reason is just that 6max attracts the ADD...

Re: 25NL - 67s hits bottom end of straight against maniac

you don't think maniac raises JQ at SOME point during this hand? I'd be really surprised if he has that. J7 is more likely, but I'm really thinking something like 89 or a total bluff.
