kiki, I'm not going to tell you to get rid of your pre-flop chart, but I will tell you that it is possible to win, or lose, in poker with a great variety of different pre-flop strategies.

What you need to do is stop thinking about a "system" and start thinking about what the players you are playing against are doing and what it tells you about what hands they might hold, and then determine how you do against those hands.

For instance, I can think of some situations where you should fold AJ from the BB to a pre-flop raise, and some situations where you should 3-bet it. No chart can capture these nuances. Charts are fine in getting you to be disciplined and not spew chips playing too many hands, but they are just the starting point.

So post some hands that gave you trouble. Since you are concerned about blind play, maybe you should start by posting some hands where you were faced with difficult decisions in the blinds and see what people think about them.
