Right this is what I'm going to do:-
PP $25 NL tables.
Play first hand aggressively as though I have AA.
Win or lose and leave table.
Do this for ten tables.

Do you think I'll be up or down after the ten tables?

Down, no doubt. On almost every table, someone will have a weird hand that they just cant let go. You will have to risk alot to win the blinds and other preflop calls, so your "risk v return" will be very negative.
Is that guy still part of the forum??

Isn't PP infamous for people going AI with junk on the first hand in tournies? I would imagine you would more callers than you would like if you were to represent AA. Are you talking about taking it AI each time if it came to that? I don't think I could go on with that experiment after my AA got outdrawn by a 72o

When a new person joins a table you are playing, how much respect do you accord his/her raises?

The First Time: I will give him the benefit of the doubt.

depending on teh outcome/his cards

then the Second Time: Call, but fold if you flopped nothing.

depending on the outcome/his cards

then the third time (all within a reasonable amount of time): more likely to reraise and put him on the defensive.

Sometimes players will bet as long as no one raises them, then once someone raises them they check/fold. They do this in any position and its relatively easy to spot.

at poker stars, i think that this would be slightly profitable.

at PP, you're getting calls.

IMHO - the bulk of the players at the PP $25 NL tables are very unobservant.
i hate what i have become to escape what i hated being...

At 6-max you will probably be up, though I'd have to think you'd be way down doing this in a ring game, unless you catch some cards. A lot of it depends on if someone plays back at you, will you still be pretending you have AA?
