Re: bb/hr??

Perhaps the reason you couldn't find it in the FAQ (http://poker.wikicities.com/wiki/Beginners_FAQ#BB.2F100_and_BB.2Fhr) was a small formatting glitch. That's been fixed, so future people with this...

Re: 2 party accounts in one household?

AFAIK standard operating procedure for poker sites in this situation is to require you to fax proof of identity for both parties. In any event, don't try to do this without getting their answer...

Re: Uber aggressive player/ what to do?

Well, perhaps I'm being unfair and you're using "the nuts" in the rhetorical way people do when they talk about "grinding the nuts". Preflop, the literal nut hand is two aces. If you're paying...

Re: Uber aggressive player/ what to do?

Well, you certainly should be calling his all-ins with better than aces or kings, because he's plainly not waiting for jacks or better to push. From the description, it sounds like he has a pushing...
