hey everyone! 8)

first off, this site rocks. i've already gotten a ton of good information, and am happy that FTR basically got me playing $25 NL PL holdem (as opposed to always playing limit). it beats the grind of tight-aggressive limit.

i've been playing party poker play money 5/10 limit and $25 NL PL for the past few weeks, am up ~1500 play chips, and have done a lot of poker reading/studying. i play tight aggressive (a bit more on the tight side) and rarely bluff. if i ever play you in a game, you didn't hear that last part.

my typical stats for a session of $25 NL PL are:
Hands won: 11%
Showdowns won: 100%
Flops seen: 37%
win% of flops seen: 23%

so my two questions:

- am i ready for real money? do i have enough experience? (i'm pretty "even" and not prone to tilting.)
- i'll play pretty loose pre-flop (10,8s - 6,7o - but not crap, e.g. 7,2 - 10,3 etc.) for a .25 call, but get out if there's a raise. i like to see a many flops as i can on the cheap, then get out if i've got nothin'. is this bad pre-flop strategy?

thanks for the help, and keep up the good work.
