my rule for getting tricky on PP NL25:
No advanced thinking is required, especially with a 100BB or less stack in PP NL25 unless you have just some outstanding read on a player through extensive PT stats and are trying to make a move
I've played 30K hands at PPNL25 and while maybe I passed up a few opportunities, I could probably only come up with less than 20 times that I've used
onlya read on a player/advanced thinking to make a move at a sizable pot/make a marginal call"
And i highly doubt I've ever taken any line on a hand because I thought an opponent in a NL25 game raised on a flush draw. Ok, I lied I did have one hand that's close to a flush/missed flush draw i somehow dredged up......

But maybe the idiot actually thought two pair with an ace kicker was good.....And this was one of the worst calls I've made at NL25 but I had that "feeling" everyone talks about....
