Yes I bet the low and middle pair a lot....why not ? My low pair is good if the other player didn't hit anything either. I already represented large pre flop I'll take it down or make him pay if he's on a draw.
rippy - even though i love to harrass you about your playing style, i have respect for "rippy style" and it has proven itself as a successful strategy for you.

just in the past month, i have specifically tried to incorporate "rippyness" and "fnordness" into my play, and have been happy with the results. i just checked and i am winning 72% of my heads-up SNG's. i've also had more SNG 1st finishes this past month. a lot of this is due to "rippy style", especially heads up.

i believe i said in another post that "rippy's apparent craziness is not always as crazy as it seems." i stand by this.

and the bit i quoted above - this couldn't be more true, and i've incorporated this into my game. once again, i got it from you.

so, keep up the good work, keep entertaining us with stories of how a squirrel stole your cards, but you won the hand anyway playing with two cocktail napkins, and it's all good!
