You're probably a bit early to call with JKoff - although if you do call it's a hand that you should put down quite easily if you hit the pair and face aggression.

All-in is justified with AK, any Q, AJ (marginal) trip, KK or AA. At this level, considering there are no preflop raises he's almost certainly got a Q. He may have even converted into the FH.

The point is that you haven't enough strength in your hand to call him. Your gut reaction is to see an All-in and assume he's bluffing. All-ins only work because people call them. Nearly half the time at this level if someone has TPTK they will call an all-in. This is why your win rate is high. You have invariably tripped a few times and your all-in has been paid off by TP. You will also have gone all-in preflop with AA and got calls. The lower limits distort the value of the early all-in.

The bottom line is that you shouldn't play hands that put you in marginal postions on loose tables in early. You can't get too aggressive with them unless you're up against a complete idiot. You only know if your up against an idiot if you play them late.

With these sort of tables because most people are surfing porn at the same time as they are playing - just play uber tight and push hard when you hit- no-one notices. You'll notice that 'sminten' posted the BB , the table called to him and he folded - He had obviously just hit on a good porn site - and had better things to do with his 'hand' for the next few minutes....

Default BB

BB/100 = Big Bets per hundred hands dealt.

In NL BB= 2* Big blind i.e 20 cents in this case.

Therefore for every 100 hands dealt slp is making 37*20 = 74 cents every 100 hands

As has been pointed out. This will not hold up. It will drop to 8-10 /100 for a winning player.. If you're play KJoff early it might even go negative

For a good player at 0.5/1 you can get about 4-5bb/100 in NL. (you'll see double this for limit but in Limit BB=BB).

Therefore you make about $8/100 hands.
