I was playing 25NL at PokerStars for like 4 hours today, three tables, and noticed that I saw about 25% on the flops. I was wondering if that is too high, it seems a bit high to me. I should probably ajust to my table, but I'm talking about an average 9 player table in this case.
I like to limp in with lower pocket pairs from any position, is this a leak or does most consider it a smart thing to do? When they trips they tend to pay off quite well.
And I see there is another tread about suited connectors, now I limp with them from any position, but I suppose I should stop with that, and only do it in position? The thing is they can really pay well when they hit straights or flushes or two pair, etc.
I play both these two types of hands cause of the implied odds they have, but I was reading in another tread that not thinking much about that and just folding more and wait for real good hands pays off better at 25NL. Those who talk about using these hands cause of their implied odds, is that cause you play them at higher limit tables? Would like to hear some opinions on that.

Sounds about ideal to me, but I'm a slag (semi-loose-aggresive/aggressive). Did it win you money?

Not been playing 25NL for that long so it's hard to say if it's just variance, but I seem to about break even, and I would prefer to go up, at least a little bit

Usually pairs are big winners in loose games. I saw that in HFOAP it said that "expert" no-limit players are in the pot 30% of the time and rely on their superior post-flop skills to make them money in loose games.

If you consider yourself to be a tight player then that number is too high. If you are a loose player then it's par for the course.

I generally hit around 25% of flops if im playing on a single table.
If playing multiple tables then i play a lot less. 15%, maybe %20.

I tried playing four tables for my first time tonight, it made me tighten up, only seeing 20% of the flops. This gave me great results, up 70$ in a few hours, more than I've ever made in ring before. Might just be variance, so I will give it some time, but playing tighter seems to work quite well so far.
