imo you have to choose a game and stick with it. even the best players cant mix up their tournament play and their ring game play without disrupting one or the other. Ring game play isnt about sitting down to make a quick score, its about putting in the hours to collect your bb/100. Sure at the lower limits you are dodging more outs to put a beat on you and you will lose a larger % of the time, but win a larger put when you hold up. Its math and math always holds up. That top pair top kicker with a flush draw might only be 30% to win against 5 opponents for that 30 dollar pot where you might rather have it heads up where you're 75% to win it but in the end...both hands are worth 9 dollars.
