1) what are some of ssnl'ers most common exploitable tendencies, and can you give some examples of how you would exploit them?

eg. leak: villain cbets once and folds to resistance.
to exploit it: float more, c/r bluff more.

another leak might be to call our c/r's and turn bets with marginal hands (after we float).
to exploit this, we just have to c/r bluff and double barrel to fold out all but the strongest of villain's range... but mostly getting folds on either flop/turn.

^^ this is what i do (the second one) ..is this too spewy? i find myself bluffing away big chunks of my stack when im wrong, against people who like to "call and re-evaluate" like this.

Any other standard things that 2p2 tags do that you have noticed, along with ways to exploit them?

2) It folds round to the BTN who is a standard 25/20, who opens for 4xBB. Do you prefer 3betting with KJs in the BB or flatcalling? What does it depend on?

Does your answer change with QJs?

The majority of the time when you flop top pair with these hands in 3bet pots, are you felting? (Given that BTN is a regular, he knows you are a regular, and you are known for being aggressive)

Im undecided on this, i generally 3bet,but lately have been trying to mix in calling a bit more (lately as in my last 80k hands or so. i have only started calling more oop against late position steals, because i read that its better not to build a big pot with these hands oop. but i dont really see much more reason after that. im pretty much doing it because im told its better, not truly understanding why - which is really bad i know.

on the whole i feel more comfortable when im the preflop aggressor especially when OOP. when i 3bet im nearly always felting top pair especially if i bet flop and check turn...because people seem to love floating me and shoving over my cbets with air...Do people do this enough to justify nearly always felting top pair here? probably depends on the player..

3) After a sample size of about 250K hands, what kind of winrate would you want at 200nl, before moving up to 400nl?

I'm taking really long to move from 200nl --> 400nl. i take shots every now and again, which are going better than they were going before. but i still feel that since my 200nl winrate isn't amazing, my edge at 400nl will be really small and the variance will be too huge to make it worthwhile.

4) I'm losing in pots that dont go to showdown.

After running a pokerev on my last 70k hands or so, i realised that I am losing alot in pots that dont get to showdown. especially in pots where i raise preflop and flop nothing.

do you think i should fix this leak of not winning in no-showdown pots before moving up to 400nl, as these pots become more and more important? or do you think i should just look at if my winrate is high enough so far? (ignoring whatever leaks i have recently found)
