So far that is how I have been playing but I know I must be basically turning my cards over to this sucka. I have no ability to balance anything because I don't want to get stuck playing marginal hands for a ton of bets with this fella but at the same time I want to bloat the pot when I do have a good hand. It's a mind-**** right now but I am sure in time I will figure something out.

Only two players you can be referring to I think - one does a much better job of balancing their fastplaying range and the one who doesn't has been running absurdly well.

I don't like to name names. I will tell you he is about 4'9 210 lbs and has a real bad attitude.

I am sure there were a lot of players who fit this description a few years ago when the 80/160 ran more often. I've only seen 1/2 spread at the Borgata maybe once in the past year.
