If im not in front by the end of the week im thinking of using Rentons 169 mhand guide with the same experiment on place
I played AOK's 19-hands for a month, but I raised almost every hand. I didn't limp anything. If he said limp from EP, I folded instead. But I've given this advice before. I think AOK's strategy is good for a starting place, but if I were you I would (A) start raising at least 2/3's of your hands preflop, (B) look at Renton's guide, and (C) start adding Renton's suggestion ONE AT A TIME, playing about a week with each component. Changing from AOK to Renton in one night isn't gonna be good for your game. The keys Renton will show you are aggression and position.
