Shillx: dunno

Limping QQ-AA is almost always horrible. I usually raise AK but have been having trouble with whiffing the flop and then not being quite sure what to do with my cards. I do fold AQ OOP though.

A nit is not really a tight player (although it keeps spilling over into that, since people don't know).

Typically, the definition of nit has always been a player who is constantly picking at the rules and procedures. Usually nits are rocks, so that is why there is some confusion over the definition.

It really seems like shillix is passing up on alot of +EV by doing this. Why would he do this?

Postflop play insn't necessary. It is really hard to know what to do when you raise AK and then miss on the flop. We just fold and then wait for pushbot stages where it is easy and I can just have SNGPT tell me what to do.
