Alpha, I haven't been around here muc, just keeping a watch blah blah.

You rock these limits and we thank you for that.

'Nuff said BOSSMAN...:)

Seriouolsy, you don't seem to be fazed by anything, you just sortof 'yep, on we go,' type of thing y'know?
GG sir always following and learning.

Thank you very much for the kind words, gadget! However, I doubt I deserve that much recognition for beating NL25 (and most likely 50, if I had a proper bankroll). I'm basically just a "feel player" with decent theoretical knowledge. There are much better players than me at the higher stakes.

However, I am proud of myself that I got to this decent level with no coaching ever.♠_pleased: It affords me a good life in my country.

The beginner's guide on how to bleed money with aces:

Step 1: 3bet small out of position.
Step 2: Check to give free cards on a drawy board, just in case you didn't give your opponent good enough odds to hit a monster against your now vulnerable overpair. Bear in mind that you should still be out of position for this to work best.
Step 3: If your opponent bets the flop, don't even think about raising to protect your hand against the multitude of draws that are on the board.
Step 4: When you are quite certain that your opponent has at least 2 pairs 80%+ of the time because he bet the turn again without any draw completing instead of getting a free card as the pre-flop caller, check/SHIP IT!

Seems complicated? Maybe an example will help!
