IMO, that is an excellent style for low limits and even higher ones if you are at the right table. It works great against the loose, passive, uncreative types.

Great style, but not so much at NL50 on FTP, or so I hear. People get much more aggressive, ie playing back at you with air and playing monsters fast all the time.

Works well for NL25 though

And now I'm not running so hot, that's two nights in a row of having people play back at me. I'm still up a decent amount for the past week or so but not running nearly as hot as I was.

As people started playing back at me or calling me down light, I adjusted and just started running cold (AA vs. flopped set). AK blanked on the flop/turn a handful of times w/ three bet pre flops.

Oh well, back to grinding it out for a while, hopefully I can find tables with passive players.

Edit: On the good side, I've earned almost two buy ins of rake back in like a week.

Well, it's now been an extremely frustrating three days.

I haven't ran this cold in poker in a very long time. I whiffed on more flops and got played back on than I can count.

I probably flopped a dozen sets or so in the last 2k hands, didn't win a single pot over $5 and lost two or three while deep stacked.

Anywho, I'm gonna take a break. The slow internet is killing me too (I have half the time that the normal person would to make a decision).
