A very tight player who folds all the time and almost never bluffs. Nits aren't considered very cool around this forum, but they tend to win money at low stakes. Nothing wrong with being a nit!

(ok, I know that's not quite true, but at microstakes, it's not at all bad)

Oh, that explains it. So it doesn't involve me making any decisions like which hand I choose to all in with? It's all randomt? So only decision I'll be making is registering for this right?

Re: ***** Official Dumb Questions Thread ****

I am not up-to-date on alot of the poker terminology and lingo. What is a hero/villian? And if I say 100nl does that mean $100 buy-in? Thanks for the help!

Hero is the person who is playing the hand being discussed, villain is the person against whom the hand is being played. If I play a hand with you, when I talk about it I am hero and you are villain, and if YOU talk about it, I'm villain and you're hero. 100nl means a 100bb BI is $100, yes.

Re: ***** Official Dumb Questions Thread ****

Does anyone have a good site, forum post or something for statistics like for example what are the odds that AK vs AA happens in a 9-handed game and similar things? I'm sure that could be calculated quite quickly, but it was just an example. It would be quicker to check this kind of things via some internet page and perhaps get more ideas of situations that one didn't think before.

I'm sure there are pages like this, not sure what you want these stats for though ? How do you think that AK vs AA stat will help you - what difference would it make to your play ?

It was just an example. It would make me able to fold strong hands more easily if I had more knowledge and knowledge is what i'm after. So if anyone knows any sites or posts like that, please do tell.
