Cliff notes: Yes standard for me.

I've tightened up a lot UTG, because there are so many calling stations/maniacs at the tables I'm playing. AJ offsuit is the weakest offsuit hand I am raising UTG, but I always raise it. KJ suited is my cutoff for suited hands. I'm curious about what you do with small PP. I don't know how profitable it is to raise these UTG. You are pretty much lighting money on fire when you miss your set and C-bet into some donkey that will call down with any pair and will draw to overcards or anything else they can imagine, and if you check to them they autobet...so yeah I dunno. Can't really limp em either, since you are almost surely gonna get raised. I've been experimenting with just dumping like 77 down preflop from UTG. I am a bit of a subtle tilt-monkey, so the fewer hands I have to get my cbets fucked with, the better.

Yeah I am still playing on Absolute, and it is full of idiots that call preflop raises.

I have been doing a little test regarding blind stealing.

I have attempted to steal the blinds now 46 times. 32 times I have gotten at least one caller, so you can imagine how often I get called by fools in position.

I'm going to review how my small PP do UTG, if I can figure out how to do it in PT.

Good luck man.

The_Golden_Donk is my 3rd best friend and I see him on a very regular basis. The other day I was playing NL$50 on full tilt and he said people were pretty clearly better than they are at NL$200 on cake.

I think the NL$200 player pool on stars might be quite difficult. That said I think using some hud/poker tracker to improve your game is a great idea, it might be better to switch back to cake once you're confident in your game though (hoping I can hop on the cake bagwagon soon as epassporte gets properly set up).

GL man.. hope it works for you... From what I can see, the aggro approach is good if you can stop and move down again if necessary. I've seen too many of my friends claiming that, but never doing it.. They go about it aggressively and don't move down and lose their moneyz.. and what's interesting, they do it 2nd and 3rd time around as well...

GL!

So I played a real early morning session today, from 12-2 and at one point I was up around 3.5 buyins. I felt good while I kept playing but the money went down, hopefully I didn't tilt much and spew any back. Looking back I think it all went alright.
