Thanks for the replies. By the way, on my 2nd post I meant 7.7/BB hand "isnt" terrible, not "is" terrible. Also, AA is much more difficult to play at the 100 dollar level as compared to the 25 or 50, because many players (not all) at the 100 dollar level catch on to what you have after a huge reraise, especially where I play at PS.

As many know, this means that a huge raise post flop will either most likely not be called, or only be called or raised by 2 pair or better. Occasionally you will get lucky here against KK or QQ, but this cant be counted on and is, again, less likely at the 100 level on a tighter site.

This is the reason I think a lot of people have a hard time moving from the 25 or 50 dollar levels to the 100 dollar level. At the 100 dollar level big pairs are less valuable, as they have increased risk and less pay off.

By the way, my current strategy is to bet and reraise hard preflop and then to slow it down after the flop. This keeps the pot low enough so that I can keep callers and take down moderate pots, but also avoid the becoming pot committed and having to call all ins against 2 pair or better.

By the way, QQ is my 2nd best money maker, right behind AA and in front of KK.
