I skimmed OP's post and it might be helpful for SSNL, but it's in many respects backwards from the way I think you need to approach the game to beat MHNL.

In what respects, specifically are you referring?

[/ QUOTE ]

Well, I just try to figure out what the other guys have and play accordingly.

lol, yeah, good show. so how is my advice backwards in any way?

rbk already told you how it's backwards:

against good observant players you have to mix it up enough that they won't be able to pick up on the fact that you will always release top pair if someone plays back at you.

its always real easy to spot the nits who won't defend a hand if it aint the nuts and take a lot of pots from them.

and if you only play the nuts then you never have implied odds cuz no one ever gives you action.

for instance, you're advocating check-folding JJ on a 678 board. while it may be correct to do so sometimes versus some opponents, in many other situations vs other players your chips/stack should be beating theirs into the pot. the trick is identifying which situation is which, i think that's what diablo's getting at.
