100nl has been much better to me the last couple days! i cannot believe the stuff regs have felted against me for 100bb... AQs, 99, 77! i've been playing my straightforward TAG game and still get plenty of action before the flop. clearly there's a lot of mistrust of the Button!

Here's an interesting hand:

UTG is unknown, which was why i didn't 3bet AK preflop. my plan was to calldown on an Axxxx board and catch AQ valuetowning itself or pick off a bluff. when the board came out so coordinated i couldn't help but raise. i would have puked if UTG 3bet shoved and i knew that when i raised, but still felt a raise was necessary. i guess i would have folded to a flop 3bet.

luckily he only called my raise and the turn was a brick. At that point i felt i was comfortably ahead in the hand and committed myself.
