I go with the QQ, but I'm an online donk.

Does the Oaks hold $540s regularly, or was this a special occasion? I should actually, like, play there sometime.

I gave it serious thought. Maybe I was being too paranoid about AA/KK.

They have a weekly Sunday NL (with points race or something for a WSOP freeroll) and Wednesday limit. Saturdays are a once-every-month or every two months thing. It looks like the next one is a $330 on April 7th. I believe they've done $330s before, but this may have been the first $540.

Do you call with some hands and raise with others? Sometimes I like to see flops with QQ. I'm not super comfortable calling with QQ initially and then calling again when someone else jams. (Is that too weak?)

What about the plan of calling with QQ and bigger pairs (sometimes), and then folding the weakest [whatever] percentage of that distribution to a jam behind? Would calling with some big hands strip too much strength out of the distribution you'd want to jam with initially? Or do you leak too much info by splitting between calling and jamming?

I need to get better at no-limit.

I thoroughly enjoyed the shit out of that vid earlier today, to the point I watched it again!
