Nice post. Quick point (skimmed all posts but dont think it was said), if you did make a book or whatever. In the PP section you stated call if it's 5-10% of your stack. This needs to be effective stack. I know us on here would know this anyway, but a total noob might call 10% of their stack not looking at what they can win in villain's stack.

But nice read nontheless

do you have any advice how to any advice how to deal with moving up (playing for/losing more money)? i am definatly rolled for nl50, even nl100 (~50 buyins), and i sometimes play those limits too, but most days i feel more comfortable playing nl20 or nl25. i guess part of the reason is that i have to cash out on a somewhat regular basis.

should i just keep taking shots and get used to it slowly, or is it better to force the matter? usually when i play higher limits it doesnt affect my play too much, i just dont do it in the first place.

i´d be very interested how you dealt with this, because whatever you did it obv worked out well.

Raises should always be 4 x the big blind + 1 big blind for every limper
e.g If two guys limp and you are on the button with AK in .05-.10c game you should make it .60c.

Quote:

If someone raises and you have a pocket pair, call if it is 5-10% of your stack.

Reasons for this are you will flop a set about 1 in 10 times and if you assume you will win their stack you have the implied odds.

Dont agree with either of these

The 5-10 rule thing I'm uncertain about.

I agree that I'm 1/9 for flopping a set, but I dont agree with chiaffone and the gang that villains will always fork over their wad if you hit your set. SOme boards kill action, and alot of villains wont go broke against your set every time.

If all villains were so aggro I could see this rule, but I do set mine alot possibly incorrectly

-Thanks! I've been reading alot of stuff here on 2p2 and this was a nice guide.

I'd like to see the other ones if they ever got created also.
* 3betting and playing against 3betting
* Double barreling
* Check raising continuation bets (both for value and as bluffs)
