Note: I'm quad tabling and taking notes on nobody. How detrimental is that? Its been my experience in the past that I can wait for monsters and will get paid off by the absolute fish. It has worked for me in the past, but I seem to be on a short losing streak.

Also, I love the rule of 5 & 10 for pocket pairs, but does it also apply for more obscure draws like 45s or J9s? Thanks
