I'm the opposite. I raise big pre-flop to isolate. But lately, I've been getting some crazy pre-flop calls from opponents with junk hands. When I've got a great hand like QQ or AK and the flop comes all rags, I figure I'm still ahead. Lately this hasn't been the case and my c-bets have been killing me.
I'm spending a lot of time digging for leaks, trying to get thru a really rough run. The only things I've seen is that I'm 2nd barreling a little too thin sometimes and occasionally felting with overpairs where I might be able to get away. My edge really comes from the smaller pots, and I'm winning those, but I'm losing enough of the big ones that I'm only barely beating the rake.
