Isn't it better to play passively in first round of blinds to get an image and then play aggressively once the blinds increase? I am wondering about this because it depends on opponent. Some opponents become impatient that way and then they play back when they shouldn't. So you play aggressively at the beggining. Not sure it is good, but I usually take the opposite approach. Also, against aggressive guy I use to keep the pot small rather than to build it and I prefer to trap him and slowplay rather than playback at him.

I ask myself always - is it better to keep the pot small against a certain opponent and steal some small pots or will he call in small pots because he doesn't understand pot odds and fold in big ones? This is the most important question, I believe.

About SAGE system, I find myself folding some of hands that are profitable, something like J4 and that stuff. I am sure this is a leak.

If you want to play some games for small money and then analyze it (thought process and that stuff), send me a PM. I don't mean it because of money - just to learn the game - something like 5 bucks buy in. I found HU are interesting and I am break even at the moment so I want to improve to become a shark.
