Hello all, I'm coming over from Limit side of things, and although a fairly slow learner compared to most I've you, I've been a slightly winning player at .5-1 limit over 10k hands.

There's isn't really a sticky for general NL ring strategy (like those posted in the SnG forum or the MTT) so I apologize if most of what I'm asking is well worn territory.

1. Bet like Limit (1 bet at a time) or NL (3BB, continuation bets, etc) I will assume like NL, but everyone seems to be pretty soft with min betting at the small amount of hands I've played.

2. Big Off suits out of position. Raise 3BB and make a continuation bet or minraise/limp and try and hit the Flop (TPGK)?

3. Dropping the hammer. I've been pretty much betting 2/3-100% of the flop when I hit TPGK against more than one opponent and the board has draw possibilities. Yes/No?

4. Overpairs. Playing these just as strong as TPTK with scary boards, betting 2/3-100% of the flop. I've just heard too many stories reading this forum that fish love to draws and will pay a dear price for them, but I seem to be pushing everyone out. Give it time I assume.

5. Playing for sets/flushes/straights. Limping suited connectors and PP's in late position with many limpers for big hands.

6. Not bluffing, playing laggy at the 25max games. Camping and playing for big hands is correct?

7. Taking advantage of position. Is it a bad idea trying to out play people with position when you miss the flop. Seems like people will call down with anything, so best if you have a hand. This kind of goes along with bluffing, bad idea?

8. When to leave a table? Do you ever play push/fold poker?

Thanks for humoring me, more to come as questions arise. Thank you for you patiences and insights.

Make your preflop raise a minimum of 4xbb - never less.

Bet 4xbb if your raising, more possibly with strong hands vs many limpers and from position

Try and hit the flop.

I play all PPs from all positions, limp or raise pps and connectors from position

6. Not bluffing, playing laggy at the 25max games. Camping and playing for big hands is correct?

1/4 and 2/5 conintuation bets vs fish work great. Pick your spots

7. Taking advantage of position. Is it a bad idea trying to out play people with position when you miss the flop. Seems like people will call down with anything, so best if you have a hand. This kind of goes along with bluffing, bad idea?

bad idea to try to outplay a fish in general

8. When to leave a table? Do you ever play push/fold poker?

Leave when you don't feel you have positive equity playing. Never ever push fold poker. This isn't a tourny...

dark side mmmm.. so tempting the dark side of the poker is. Aware you must be. Otherwise destroy it you shall.

just watched Revenge of the Sith yesterday, surprisingly g00t I gotta say.

From time to time someone always asks for a good nl ring guide. There arent any good books about the subject either (I dont really like Ciaffone&Reuben, even HoH1 is better for ring IMHO), and for reason. Deep stack poker is all about post flop. And post flop play is a form of art. To me it is a matter of aggression, position, reading the other players tendencies etc. All this combines to a certain "feel" which nowadays determines most of my plays nl200+. Of course this is somewhat different when you start playing nl25 or such. TAG is the way to play there. Play good hands, and play them like you have the nuts. Occasional bluffs wont hurt, especially if you show then 740 They will start calling you down and that is a good thing if you play TAG.

If you wanna learn the game, come hang out on IRC and someone will perhaps teach you some tricks.
