I've played about 2K hands of FR NL. Started at 4NL, now playing 10. I wouldn't really call it play. If I log in and don't see a good .5/1 or 1/2 game on Merge, I open up 4-6 tables of NL. That sounds like a lot but if you tried it, you need that many not to have it seem like paint drying. While LHE is dumb, NL is incredibly stupid. I'm playing loose/passive, but trying to play in position.

In a case that a fire official called “bizarre,” authorities were trying to determine how rocks collected at San Onofre State Beach caused a woman’s shorts to catch fire about an hour later at her home, severely burning her...
The woman’s children collected seven rocks Saturday from a popular surfing beach called Trestles north of Camp Pendleton Marine Corps Base and near San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station.

4-6 is a pretty small amount (though still a challenge on merge software.) I find there are so few decision points it is like watching paint dry.....

Reason: I'm ambivalent. It seems to me that politics > science on the issue.

I completely don't know what I'm doing. I have time to think through every decision on every hand I play and I'm never rushed or really time banking. Given lack of skill, the decisions are bad... just never rushed.
To date it has been playing nitty post flop. Any resistance give up, they always have it. Then, I cooler some poor jerk. He puts in his whole stack with an overpair often drawing to 2 outs our just dead. He could easily fold as I always have it. They rarely fold, so bluffing someone who doesn't give up immediately seems pointless. If the guy only cbets TP+, just hit a set and stack him. or so it seems.

Bet enough to price out his draws. Fold when he c/r you. He has a set.
