Thanks, I bought a van a couple of years ago but right now I'm living at my grandma's house. I got a job at the end of 2019 driving and operating an earthquake simulator and doing renovations on older houses, installing foundation plates, framing anchors, and cutting and adding shear wall to cripple wall foundations. Quit that job when they lowered my pay 20% almost exactly a year ago during covid because that's a qualifying reason for unemployment and unemployment was paying more than my job. Played online poker and started running hot in December/January culminating in me binking a six figure score by winning the monthly milly on Ignition on January 31st. $535 buy-in 1866 players for $134,640. So basically all luck =D.

NH.
Thanks. Yeah if I'm shortstacked in a tourney I'll limp aces a lot. If someone has a hand strong enough to call a raise they'll generally raise a limp themselves. And the chances the big blind outflops aces is much lower than the chance they'll just flop top pair or any pair and go with it. I'll balance this out by limping some hands like KQ that are too strong to fold but also not quite strong enough to raise from EP on a short stack in an ICM spot. For example I limped KQs from UTG when there was 11 left in the monthly milly off an 11bb stack. UTG+1 called and SB jammed 3.5bb and I rejammed and the other limper folded and I got there vs the sb's AT. It was kind of a weird spot and I wasn't sure what to do there but I felt like limping was a better way to play it then just jamming or min raising.
