Ahhh... now you're on the right path.

At some point between being too predictable and too loose, we find an optimal balance. Shania is happy.

We can further complicate things for our opponents by shifting gears in response to perceptions, game conditions and expoitable tenencies of our opponents.

I don't open limp much, so my default game forces my opponents to re-raise me. At the 100NL level, a big re-occuring mistake is failing to do so often enough.
