Live play Tendencies ....

[El_Timon]

On the same line as the last post: the min-raise. I've seen it used both with a monster and as a scared bet. More often than not it means a monster, but you have to learn to identify who min-raises with a hand like TP/weak kicker.

From my experience, the average live 1/2NL player is weak-tight/loose. Sizing your bets and playing in position are very important, both to get max value and to bluff effectively. There is a good chapter On Sklansky's book on NLHE about this topic, I highly recommend it.
