Some posts wahoo

I get what your saying Stuventus, however it's playing them situationally. I wouldn't always raise these/play these hands obviously, positionally though we don't always get monsters and vs these fish sometimes you've got to widen your range or I think you do anyways. I don't deny that a tight is right way wins but I'm running 19/15 at 6 max so I'm hardly playing all sorts of junk. What sort of hands do you recommend raising from the CO/BU if it's folded around to you? Are you playing full ring or 6 max?

The 10 5 hand has nothing to do with the cards really, I just raised it because I sensed they were weak pre-flop I was wrong, one donk had AK but played it so passively, but when I've flopped a flush draw I'm going to play it aggressively - yes it didn't work out to well but it happens. I was probably tilting a bit aswell so as I say it's not a great hand.

I'm not sure what's wrong with the Q9 and A2 hands, the Q9 I'm in the SB not saying I'd always call from the SB (over 2,500 hands small sample my stats from the SB are 28/15) with such hands but again if I flop big to it for 3c it's got decent implied odds, post flop it's fine I think. The A2 is just me being aggressive - and again I wouldn't always raise this. As I say I don't want get into a bone about it not on this thread anyways perhaps in the beginners section we can have more discussion

The A2 hand actually got me thinking about something that I was mulling over yesterday, mainly after playing too aggressively the day before.

If we've got a huge station/fish in the BB when we're on the button, we need to tighten up our range a lot more. However we do want to exploit position so versus the giant fish we also want to play hands which are ahead of his calling range (50% usually - so I'd play all pairs, broadways and cards that can flop well versus these clowns)

Not sure how correct that is, mind even at these stakes I want to buy a ticket in the stack the fish stakes!

Pretty uneventful session last night, however I grinded for some 250 hands with a BB/100 rate of 16 so all gravy. Managed to flop a set with AA and a station stacked of with K6!

Additionally the same station in my BB and one in the SB were listed as the same location, now if it was a big place I'd not be concerned but looking on Google Maps the place was a tiny German town (perhaps even a village) - so I observed their play and noticed in approx 25 hands they failed to play one pot against each other which BvB seemed a little weird, so Pokerstars got a little email. Now maybe I'm being pedantic but I don't want donks getting an edge by colluding, I would however rather let Stars investigate them.
