Ok so I took the suggestion and I got the book SSH. Well I was very surprised at some of what I read. For example Playing A2s as early as seat 4. I was shocked. This is a hand I would not even consider at the button. In loose games playing hands like K9s in early position. So I was surprised. But I am definitely not making as much I money as I think I should be making so I am going to take the suggestions for 40000 hands and see what happens. ? But no doubt the book has changes the way I look at fixed limit. Such a different game form NL.
One of the things the book lacks is blind play. Not much on it. Can anybody direct me to a good book on blind play or maybe some online articles?

The reason SSH doesn't cover blind play is because it is written for the player at loose tables. It is rare to have blind steal/blind defense situations with tables that have 40-80% to see the flop.

because two pair, trip deuces (full houses too) and a wheel, as well as the flush bring in huge pots (10BB+) for 1 SB and your chance of getting those is better than 5%

I've heard of someone that was writing a guide to playing blinds in LHE. Now if that worthless bastard would get off his ass and finish it.

A2s is good for flush draw value only. I'll limp it in MP3 with 1-2 limps ahead of me, but not earlier. These are the kind of hands you want to have with 5-7 players seeing the flop since when you catch your flush, you get paid pretty good. I dump it to any bet after the flop if the draw isn't there, but miracle flops like 2 pr or trip dueces will get proper aggression.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

Imo you need money in the pot for A2s to pay off - hard to know what people will do behind - unless they are consistently loose
