I probably have more variance than most people, although I sort of almost intentionally increase my variance because I think its more fun. Also, I have tried a lot of huge river bluffs which havent turned out too well (and others which have), because it takes some time to learn what river bluffs work since you run into the situations less often, and it is a more costly mistake. When I dont know whether or not to bluff, I generally prefer to bluff at it, because I can learn from it.
I generally dont play super long sessions only because I am ADD, and still getting used to the live games. The past three trips I have been playing longer average sessions (mostly 3-5 hour sessions), and last trip I played a 10 hour session with basically the same 9 fish, and played this uber loose style for the entire 10 hours, and actually built my biggest chipstack ever (I did eventually bluff 450 bucks into the nuts, but that was mostly me being too tired, but still ended up being way up).
Yeah, it does piss people off. Im kind of one of those people who thrives on that. I mean, I am a nice person, and dont intentionally put people on tilt or anything, but Ive always felt like if you are pissing people off with your playstyle, that means you are doing something right. I used to play Super Smash Bros pretty competitively, and it got to the point where my name was used as a verb to describe someone winning by being annoying.

If you are in a spot with sc or suited one gapper or k9 suited from UTG are you just folding those hands since you are in bad position to raise or are you limping some with those type of cards?
Really curious as to this style of play...would love to watch you fire up a table of nits.
I almost never limp. If I do, itll be like 22-66 from UTG type hands. And I play very tight OOP. The whole point of a LAG style is to abuse dead money and position. You dont have either UTG, so you should be playing your cards.
