Thanks nish, whereabouts are you playing at?

Daven - im down in Hobart. Take it your from the great Oz as well? Thanks for the comments. I didnt think ahead to what would happen if I did make the MM.. though being early morning Aussie time might have made my decision easier..

Played a few hands last night. Was up just under a BI I think. Will post some hands later. Nothing overly amazing. AA held up in one hand. Hit a couple of sets in others and got paid off.

A couple of things that stick out thinking wise.

I need to spend some time in pokerstove before my next session really getting a grip on some ranges. I found last night I didnt have time to fully consider the VPIP and PFR stats and put the villians on a clear range (it didnt help that at 2NL its very rarely HU - normally 4 or 5 in the pot with varying stats).

I guess the typical looseness at this level means I am ahead most of the time (except against say, a villian with 5% VPIP) if I am playing tight PF and choose to get involved, but it makes it hard post flop to think how well the flop hit their hands.

Any thoughts on perhaps trying to memorise some standard ranges (say 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%) and adjust them based on what opponents are showing down? ie. at 10% pokerstove might give me 99+ and most broadway combos, but if I see villian show down a lower PP I might give him all PP's and a smaller sample of broadways?

The other area I really struggle with is overcards. Particularly if someone has position on me (I tend to raise AK and AQs from every position, AQo from MP onwards).

Standard for me both in and OOP is to bet 1/2 to 2/3 of the pot (I usually consider myself to have 6 outs, plus flush and straight outs occassionally) and if I dont take it down there, try and check it down/fold if I dont improve. Obviously, my lack of clarity with ranges is hurting me here because im not able at present to put villian on a range. I will try and post some of these hands with analysis later on tonight.
