Message: [QUOTE="fcumred, post: 872704, member: 37796"] I work on the theory that as long as I can double up every 3 blind raises then you should make the money. Therefore I look at playing small pocket pairs, even raising with them. I also dont waste chips on every hand that contains an Ace. I wont play anything less than A 10, Likewise I tend to avoid playing suited connectors unless they are pictures or at worst 10 j. Anything like that goes in the muck. Basically I play as few a chips as I can get away with. I dont defend my blinds unless I have a very good hand. That way when I need to start being more aggressive I have more to back myself up with. Its amazing how you can build up your stack if you've managed to save yourself even 200 of a 3000 starting stack just by avoiding loose calls. Especially around the blinds.. [/QUOTE]
