I was looking XTRA post, sorry. But at bubble trouble no way! Every one goes tight most of time. Other times depends on how the other players are playing and if I have built my reputation at the table I am at.

I play what I call my top 20 HANDS please look at list:

1. AA
2. KK
3. QQ
4 JJ
5. AK suited
6. TT
7. AQ suited
8. AJ suited
9. AK
10. KQ suited
11. AT suited
12. KJ suited
13. A (2,3,4,5) (high flop, fold)
14. 99
15. QJ suited
16. KT suited
17. 88 (be careful this can one bite you)
18. QT suited
19. A9 suited (yah this surprised me too)
20. AJ

I journal my on line play and guess what the above hands got in common.

I have a better than 60% win with them. Mind you I pick and chose spots. You got to careful. Copy and paste list to your excel or word program so they are handy. I did until I knew them by heart.

Getting back protecting BLINDS (big or small) is overated. To me the TV has put the myth of you protecting your blinds. Makes good telivision. But I do try to win at least one hand per cycle of the blinds to keep stack level or climbimg. I look as blinds as being forced into playing a hand or two.

One golden rule is that only you and you alone chose how many chips you are going to lose, no use calling some one a donk when you gave them a reason to call. More chips you put in the pot gives the other person an excuse to call or raise and donk you.

That's why you have to push! Build your stack before bubble trouble. Change gears and when you have the nuts (the best possible hand when building stack) let it be shown by you or by putting smaller stack all in. So bluffing time comes people respect your bet.

Hope that helps. By the way how do you import picture into this web site?
