Bleh...really read dependent. Sometimes call, sometimes fold. It's either a donkey with the nuts/set/2-pair/AA/KK, or not much.

hmm yeah. from SNGs i figure him to have f'all. trips usually slowplay (actually i think i had a note thats what he does with them) so i put him on nothing much.
guy called same PF situation before with J9s betting a gutshot. but since he had never used the line before or could figure ive a PP since ive raised a good bit at the table.
ah well he had 76o. bit annoyed at myself for INSTACALLing and not thinking about it. i probably would of called anyway(based on reads) i guess TBH but should of at least gave it a sec.

Is one pair worth 200xBB? The answer is rarely.

It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?

Be wary about translating anyone's SNG play to their cash play.

QFT. In cash games there is no need to make massive all in bluffs like this to pick up chips. You're beat here about 90% of the time IMO. The only non-bluff hands you beat that *might* do this are pps 99-JJ.

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.

ive slept on it. I should of folded
Im guessing that if there was some math to it then im probably not ahead often enough for this to be profitable (given this exact situation).
Balls, at least ive learned it early tho.
gotta read up and study (just telling myself)

Even if you are ahead it isn't by much. Stacks are too deep here.

yeah you shouldnt have revealed results so soon, but i would definitely say fold without seeing them. Youre never going to be in a dominating situation here unless he is really really horrible; the worst youll see is a pair +oesd where youre a tiny favorite. Otherwise youre smoked.

Hey Goat you playing cash now? Me too, am 3 tabling the baby 0.2/0.5c tables. Gotta say I'm enjoying it more than SNG's now, I like to play after the flop and lag it up a bit.
My advice is from Sklanksy - big bets with big hands. An overpair is a good but not great hand.
If I can hijack slightly - I find the tables very tight pf, even small raises are often folded around. So I'm raising more in late position but tending to limp my big hands and so far it's working. Do you guys think this is a good adaptation to the table or should I still raise big hands and hope someone else has a hand to play against me? I can't tell what will make more long term.

Unless the small blind really is one fifth of a penny, then your notation is wrong

I'm suprised how tight so many people are at these limits, is it the same at 25nl?

I'm seeing quite a lot of multi-tablers The donks seem to buy in small so they are not as appealing a target as the big stacks, although I'll happily stack them of course Anyway I've only played 5k hands so like you say could be a small sample

Ive been 2-tabling the $10NLs. Its so cool how you see the same players almost everytime you go on. PT and your own notes make it so much easier to read them and pwn them. E.g. got a great read off this guy who really over bets his TP hands and slow plays his sets, flushes etc. Stacked him four times this weekend and twice in an hour last night. Awesome.
I think the 10NL is a little looser but when its all regulars often $.40 raise gets folded around. You on stars pants?

'splain what you mean by "big hands". If you're open limping overpairs/AK/AQ, don't.

Yeah I'm on Stars Ginger, if I keep building my roll I'll move up to your stakes 
@warpe yes I have open limped AA KK and AK because I was fed up with raising with them and it folding round. I realise I'm causing some problems for myself on subsequent streets but I can let an overpair go if I think it's beat. But hey it might be a bad play, I just can't see how not getting any action can be good. I don't believe in absolute rules to play by as so many situations can arise but if someone can demonstrate that it's almost always better to raise big hands then thats cool.

*sighs*
There are a gajillion threads on here that explain why this is bad. Search for them and read them. You deserve every stacking you get by playing these hands in unraised pots and letting marginal hands hit the flop hard.

Look what you say is fair enough, but if you think I'll easily commit my stack with top pair you underestimate me. Big pots are for big hands only, I generally want at least a set to play for my stack and that's still dependent on the board and the betting etc. All I'm saying is that at an exceptionally tight table might it not be ok to limp big starting hands, even though there is risk that you'll have to fold when someone starts betting big with a hand that would have folded to a raise pf. Or maybe raising more hands is the way to go so people are forced to loosen up against you and you get more action on big hands? I'm sorry if this is all old news to you regulars I just want to have some discussion, I'm not stupid just inexperienced

Forget about trapping opponents you percieve to be smart, until you build big pots with big hands against opponents who are actually more stupider than you could ever imagine.
Acting weak when strong at low levels is EXTREMELY BAD POKER.

Yeah if they fold a lot, then raise more hands, that's standard play.

Also. If raising AA works at 100NL+ then it sure as hell will work at 10NL
