I read your post last night and i have dropped down two levels too really practice at it. I play FR and right now i'm running 26/21 after 200 hands and things are looking great. Thanks for the thread...

Sb vs BB I have a very big range. Any hand I would raise on the button with I will raise in SB vs BB as well as a variety of total utter trash if the person is weak tight.

Hey Tien great post, got a little worried when you said you lost 8 buyins rushing into this new approach of 6max TAG NLH, but anyhooo... Why did you quit poker in the first place if you were doing so great?

Okay i just want to bump this thread, because i find it very hilarious. I want to add a hand from my session tonight:

I had 44 UTG i raised it to a normal 4bb, the table folds to SB who calls. We see a flop of 498 double-suited. He bets into me for about half the pot. I reraise him to pot and he flatcalls. Turn is a blank i make it nearly potsize he tanks and shoves. After doing that he told me to laydown AK. I obviously called and he stacked me with 99, but the results have nothing to do with what i want to tell you:

He afterwards told me that he would NEVER EVER put me on a small pocketpair or a set and that it was a good UTG raise. People limp in with small pps all the time. I cant remember seeing anyone openraising small pocketpairs from UTG in my limit

I think thats a good example why one should always raise any pp from any position. Simply because no one believes you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Cuz it was no longer fun.

And I couldn't start my new business without focusing 100% of my attention on that new business.

I'm glad this post has had the effect it has had on you newbies.

Grind away grasshoppers!

Thanks, it took me literally 10 months of banging my head on the wall to finally figure it out.

EDIT: And over half a million hands of doing it all wrong in between.
