Re: Commerce 40/80 - General Observations
On the specific hand, I'd fold my K-Q almost 100% of the time here. A bet and a raise into my pre-flop raise means I'm not better than 2nd place.
When the game's super-maniacal, I tend to follow the wild games advice in HPFAP and play only premium hands, especially from early position. When the game's super-loose but more passive, I tend to play more hands, especially suited, and especially from late position, again similar to the advice in the loose games section of HPFAP.
Klepton's a good player and I respect his advice. But game selection is very important at the Commerce 40-80. There is a big group of poor players and getting into their game, and on their left, is very important.
The aggressiveness manifests itself, it seems to me, not so much pre-flop as on the turn. Learn your opponents and their habits, their likes and dislikes. You talk about being stubborn: that strikes me as exactly the opposite of what is best at the Commerce 40-80. Let your opponents be stubborn.
