I recently played a live tournament at Foxwoods $300 30k guaranteed (only 5th live tournament) and i found that listening to music helped immensely.  I'm 29 with a preppy frat boyish look (as per observers) and never have been a proponent of sunglasses, hoodies etc. (nothing wrong with that just not me style).  Mediation, exercise, eating right is all great. (not too much caffeine).  However, most importantly, playing stakes that you feel absolutely comfortable with is the best way to reduce this effect.  Like i said for a tournament, this was the first time i listened to music and it not only gave me a different table image, but helped my mind detach in bluff spots.  I think it's great you stopped shuffling chips as i recently have done the same and sit with my hands crossed touching each elbow almost in a meditative position.  I feel that live tells can be overrated in certain spots..meaning that your perceived table image comes into play more than an isolated instance of your opponent thinking your bluffing or not.

I find 55/66 being my cutoff as well, would you say fold or raise here the best two options based on table dynamics?

Hey All, 

I've been having trouble playing hands like 77-1010 utg to mid position with around 50 bb or less.....what's the optimal strategy here?  Isn't 99 too strong too fold? yet raising here puts me in a tough spot (i.e. out of position, what to do against a 3bet, etc.)...just wondering what you guys think.  Also, is limping a bad option? thanks
