Party Blackjack - end of an era

[lapoker17]

also, by the "swings" you quoted it seems to me that you aren't pressing nearly enough.

[Ulysses]

lapoker,

I was betting $100 a hand a lot, that is pretty good pressing for my roll!!!

[lapoker17]

we need some owning mahoney scale variance dude. like we need your action to affect share price. make it happen.

[Yeti]

El Diablo,

10-tabling the 25NL 6-max should give you the required 350 hands in just over 20 minutes. Unless of course, you need 350 raked hands. In which case, you are f'ed.

Happy to help,
Yeti

Yeti,

Yes, they need to be raked hands. I am playing limit poker now. My strategy is to play TIGHT-AGGRESSIVE. Here is one hand, I think I maybe should have raised the river, but I not real familiar with my opponents yet.

All,

Here was the last hand I played in the session. I played it pretty TIGHT and AGGRESSIVE ("TAG") the whole way, pretty much a clinic in LHE.

El D,

This "TIGHT AGGRESSIVE" strategy you advocate intrigues me. Could you please explain?
