I see your making a KILLING with AA. It's 63 for 63, your not running bad on that end.

You're playing on a site where the "regulars" would be a rare fish on other sites. Everyone else at the table is a 45/6. Play old school TAgg and clean up.

The site is made up of very weak, very loose passives. Which means, if these guys show aggression post-flop (assuming they aren't a spewtard) you're beat. Also, even though they show weakness, doesn't mean they won't call you down with top pair crap kicker. So just wait for a good hand and value town them.

latest fun beat at 3/2 Nl on Bodog.

I open for $12 UTG, sb a big fish calls.

flop is rags two clubs, he overpots it, about 120% so i push, thinking that if i play it this fast he'll call.
He nearly times out then calls with KQclubs, so i waited for the club.

Sure enough it hits the river. GG another $450.
