Hey Metetron, thanks for doing this!


Do you think the blanket disdain that 2p2 feels towards any preflop limping whatsoever is irrational?

You are in a spot where a passive line and an aggressive line have the same immediate EV. The passive line is lower variance, the aggressive line helps your image a little but at the cost of variance. Which line do you usually take?

How often do you check-call to the river with one-pair-ish hands OOP?

Do you think that a huge WWSF% is the 'new trend' that most of the regulars have taken on board?

I play very tight. At 200NL and lower, I find that most of the ~22/20 regs, who would otherwise be winning a little money off me, make huge mistakes versus me in big pots. For example habitually committing with AK preflop when I 3bet them even though I have been very inactive, or committing on dry boards with an overpair even though I have not been check-raising light, etc. It's like they just bin me as "2p2 Tag", and assume that I make all the plays that 2p2 Tags are making on average, without really adapting to my specific ranges. Do you get a lot of these donations at higher stakes too, or do the regs start to tone down their ranges versus you?

Do you vary your preflop raise sizes?

What VPIP constitutes a "loose" player at the stakes you play?

Finally, do you realise that Star City (Sydney's casino) really sucks balls for Texas Holdem? The rake is $1/hand for the 200NL game(!)
