on a 25NL table) and if someone has raised before
me I usually put them to the test and reraise 3
times the amount they have put in or go all in.
AK, AQ - I raise 8 times the big blind if no one
has raised in front of me. If someone has limped
or no one has entered the pot I will raise 8 times
the big blind. If the pot has been raised before
me, I will only call if I have a decent read on
the player.
QQ, JJ - I raise 8 times the big blind if no one
has raised in front of me. If someone has limped
or no one has entered the pot I will raise 8 times
the big blind. If the pot has been raised before
me, I will call and play cautiously post flop if
I don't flop trips or my pocket pair is not the
higher than the board.
AJ - This hand has gotten me in trouble. I usually
limp in or call the big blind. I throw away to any
raise before me and usually fold it if a raise
comes behind me.
1010, 99, 88, 77, 66, 55, 44, 33, 22 - call the
big blind. maybe raise 1010 and 99 in late
position if no one has entered the pot. I will
call a raise up 10% of the raising players stack.
Post flop I know where I stand if I hit my set or
not, or my pocket pair is above what the board
shows.
I usually move tables quickly after I double my
stack up, because most players will learn how you
play and its hard to get action on raises after
they learn you play real hands and push with them.
When I read that AJ hand how true that is that is the hand that has hurt me the most and I usually do just what he said here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello again, CrazyHorse ~
Glad we have someone to talk to. LOL
I couldn't agree more with the last full paragraph of your post!
As for the other parts of your strategy, I can see you enjoy the roller coaster. Good advice in general, but I tend to play a little tighter, i.e. where you use the number 8 for raising, I would try to get more of their money in the pot by raising lighter until near the river. Then I would lower the boom with an all in. But.....to each his own, as long as he can stay in the black.
