When a poster says something like, "Villain is 42/15/2..."--what do those numbers (42/15/2) each mean?

How to play HU against LAG

Heads UP--My opponent is raising preflop 90% of the time. He is also very aggressive postflop.

What hands can I call with preflop?

What hands can I go to the river with unimproved? (any ace?)

Re: Tongue Lashings and the Ed Miller Approach

you said:

"To the OP:

Why do you want a bigger ace to fold? So you can make less when you hit 2-pair? Well I guess it doesn't matter because you didn't bet your 2-pair on the river when you...
