I know this is true of higher stakes games with people who know what there doing, but is it stilll relevant in such a low stakes game like this which are stocked with fish who only care about their own hand?
sorry, but i didnt check your stakes. umm, if you want to play textbook poker, go to limit. NL is all about creativity and thats why i love the game. i personally would just find it boring if i followed sklansky's advice religiously. work on postflop play way more than starting hand selection.

and at those limits, call an AI every time with KK or QQ, it will be profitable in the long term. ive laid down KK preflop at my stakes but its only with an amazing read. consider longterm here. if you lose half your BR calling KK to AA thats fine. but over 100 AIs with KK at those stakes, you will definitely be up. those players are garbage. i played NL .10 earlier cause i couldnt find an open seat at NL100. something like 80% saw flop every time..it was disgusting. i saw 10BB raises wtih j2s. id honestly consider calling AIs with as low as 9s.
