So I've been running a little bad, and I understand when this happens good +EV plays like playing marginal holdings fast and calling down start to look like chip spewing. However...

B&M is so much more passive than online, even once you get to stakes above the idiots making all sorts of really really stupid calls. Online scare cards are regularly bet. All kinds of shots are taken at me, it sometimes feels like the trenches of WW1. Limp/re-raises with medium-strong hands. AK is usually a raise. AJo bets the river unimproved. I see all kinds of silly stuff at showdown. Oh, and no one seems to be able to stop raising once we hit 3 bets, it's getting capped.

In live play I regularly see AK/AQ, heck QQ/JJ limped. Very few players are pushing edges and they're easy to identify. The 2nd nut gets spooked by a 3-bet. We're not talking about just money blowing lemmings here. Lots of otherwise reasonable players are like this.

Given this...

Should you be more inclined to make cute laydowns?
Is it +EV to over-limp KT/QT/JT on the Button/CO?
Should you even bother with the med suited connectors?
Any other adjustments?

I'm the tightest guy at my table and I still think I play too loose...
