My notes say MP1 occasioanlly likes to limp in and will fold to a sizable raise. BB is a little loose and likes defending his blinds.

lol id def say 100 BBs is a sizeable raise ...gj making MP fold, he probably wouldve sucked out on you with some lower pocket pair or 67s ....

Maybe you should bet $1.98 on the flop to find out where you're at [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I really don't see why you're raising so much. You will be called by a better hand almost all the time, and commit yourself to seeing a showdown regardless of what comes.

Umm are you confusing "agressively" with "retardedly"?

Well played, if everyone except SB folds to your raise before the flop you had bought the button, and that is always nice because you will have position rest of the hand.

When you run you preflop overbet into AA or KK a few times you will get stacked.

Don't do it.
