I 7 tabled 200nl 6max pretty drunk last night, still an easy game to beat playing basically abc. 10 tables at 50 should be a breeze with 2 monitors.

I was a winning SNG player over the long term and I decided to learn how to play poker instead of being a pushbot.

I warn you before you try this, be careful. NL cash games are a completely different beast.

Limp or call raises with pocket pairs. Don't bother to play most other hands. Hope someone pays you off when you hit a set.

There can be a lot of skill involved in getting the most, avoiding getting bluffed too much when you don't improve, and deciding when to raise yourself, but the point is that this strategy exploits a big weakness many people have of overplaying TPTK and overpairs. When Party switched to a 100 BB structure, many players were extremely vulnerable against this type of strategy. Many limit players have this weakness when they switch to NL.
