Graduated college a couple of weeks ago, so I figured I'd start up poker again in the summer before I start law school. I was a breakeven microstakes cash player before building up a small roll on Full Tilt (Really really hoping THIS is true).
Anywho, I deposited $50 on Lock Poker a month ago and built it up to a thousand playing HUSNGs, then tilted half of it off, then built it back up again. Absolutely love the gametype and have been making a killing at the $20-30 reg/turbo speed games. I'm just too damn impatient in 6-max and full-ring games - being able to open 80-90% of my hands is much friendlier for my attention span.
For someone who has always struggled at low-stakes cash games, I'm surprised at how bad some of the midstakes HUSNG regs are. These guys are so predictable and get killed by aggressive postflop play. Against some regs, I'm opening all my hands from the button and cbetting every flop, and they'll never fight back enough.
One particular reg (name-redacted), after I valuebetted trips on the river:

REG : lol
REG : come on
hapa : you calling a shove there?
REG : with top
REG : pair]
REG : vs u yea (note: no he aint, liar.)
hapa : well **** I don't have a good image
REG : 92% c betting
REG : come on
hapapants : whats my turn cbet % on your hud?
REG : 91%
REG : fold on flop 17%
REG : must be drunk alot
I still don't have an HUD or pokertracking software, so it was kinda funny to see the numbers. (btw, what do y'all recommend for software? Seems like Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker are the big two).
I'm definitely not normally doing the above against your average player, but the guy folds probably ~80-90% of hands to double barrels and c-bets 90% --> checks --> folds to river bet if he doesn't have atleast 2nd pair.
This same reg check/raises a polarized range (very weighted towards air) and runs up some random crazy bluffs.

I get good odds to call the check raise on the flop, and call the huge turn bet since he would never pot the turn with top pair with two tens on the board. I snap called the pot sized river bet to some funny results:
