The Feature Table...

[user22113]

is playing fast and furious. Raises are the order of the evening and over -the-top moves have been taking down most pots. Lots of aggression and very few flops. But the chips are sliding left to right and right to left but we have had not bust outs or even an all-in. Cautious Aggression.
