Thats just too much poker for me...

I like my Gabe approach for the time being, which also seems to fit into the Fnord approach. I'm still getting a grasp on the whole 'when to cold call' preflop thing but I'm doing it more when the effective stacks are higher. My range is exclusively suited no gappers (only sometimes) and pocket pairs (usually always). AJs, ATs, and KQs, and KJs only sometimes as well.
