What site you play

Can you describe the differences between the levels (From 200NL and up)

[/ QUOTE ]
absolute mainly...

this isn't very good but...
1/2->2/4 Aggressiveness in general goes up, people will push draws much more often
2/4->5/10 taking adv of bad regs becomes absolutely key to success

ppl are always looking for some easy generalization of a level but the game varies sooo much table to table

1.)[censored] it Im playing till I get unstuck
2.)Drinking
3.)Sex- this obv proves i don't see my gf enough
4.)Reefer (if i could, the NCAA tests for this. i could do it, but its just not really worth it. plus my roommate can't b/c of his job, so i'd be torturing him)
5.)Video Games - my dad just got a wii, i'm gonna have to go home more often
6.)Farting contests - i'm lactose intolerant, so give me 30 min prep and i'll destroy anyone
7.)Go karts and lazer tag are tight, but all my buddies aren't really down with it
8.)Kolo and Killain are fun to make fun of, but i'm not one for piling on

do you buy in for 100 or 200bb on absolute? how does your game plan change if you buy in for 200?

200bb

things that are diff
-implied odds go up
-risking more to win small pots pays off if you can win the big pots
-have to be able to fold an overpair

thats just off the top of my head, I'll post more if i think of any

no offense, i hate these kind of questions. I base sooo much of my play based on the information you told me to ignore.

grudgingly answers anways...
- I prob repop AQ, call AJ, fold A10... suited doesnt matter
- I repop 99 or 88 if I feel ancy, but not always
- rest of the pockets i call

i obv play looser/tigher based on villain. I am def capable of folding AJ pf to a CO raise.

How do you proceed if you totally whiff and face a cbet from a complete unknown?

Feel free to not answer this question; I know it's a bad one. I just feel that I leak too much in spots like these, calling an unknown's raise with 66 from the BB and then c/f to a cbet on a J84 flop or something.

its not a bad question, it is a simple one... and i fold here like 99% of the time. Do you have the best hand? Maybe... but the real question is if you going to be able to make profitable moves on the turn or river? definitely not.

against players i know cbet too much a raise here is fine, but i almost never float oop

[willw9]

So aren't you saying that calling a raise with 22-77 is essentially for set value/extremely favorable flops and board textures?
