As some of you know, I have tremendous heartache with big pairs. AA and KK are were once only marginally profitable, and as a result my bb/100 could never climb much farther than 4-5. I have since gotten a little better with them, and now my bb/100 over about 8k hands at 25nl is at about 8.

What do you think of this one?
