I've just started with ring games - (So I could be way off)

My Goal is to win the small pots until one of the players makes a mistake when i'm in the hand with a better holding than he has and more than likely take his money.

I will pass on marginal edges pre-flop and/or in small pots to avoid making difficult decisions for lots of money post-flop
I do this on the flop as well and just wait for a better opportunity - anyone do this
