wow. lots of good comments past 10-12 or so.

PAPI, 44 to a RR? fold fast w/o a real read...at 25NL. not a lot of light 3betting, unless at stars is my experience. yes, its junk or unpaired stuff a lot, but its still a fold w/o a read.

RENTON, i try to stick to my "profitable range" like crazy. logically, it makes so much sense. but, by playing the top-end of our unprofitable cards, we can increase our numbers for those PTing us...or make us appear a bit more loose than we really are, thus, buying us a little more action for our profitable range. the dissenting opinion will say that the players at low/mid stakes arent really paying much attention anyway, so this idea is moot.

BIONDINO, i agree whole-heartedly with the 44 v AK comment. i dispise small pairs w/o "set odds." sure, they are flipping with most holdings, but they are also so easily dominated by more and more pairs the farther down you drop towards the duckies. personally, i set hunt <55, even when opening on passive tables. aggro tables, i continue to raise them up, if i am first in.

BACK TO PAPI, yes, opening up wont do too much against shorties. i like bode's 88+, if you see hes doing a lot of pushing. but, JJ+ otherwise. but, i will call with a lot else and take a flop...if i wasnt 3bet pf.
