hello everyone here at FTR.

I've been playing a LOT of poker over the last month, basically breaking even at 25NL.

When i started out, for mayb the first couple of weeks, i was seeing about 33% of flops, and i was turning a pretty tidy profit. Then i thought, time to get serious, and started not just reading, but studying FTR. My starting hand requirements and attention to position began to become a lot tighter, to the point where i was seeing about 23% of flops.

Then something horrible happened. I started losing money. lost the profit i had made and then stayed about break even for the next week.

So for the last couple of days, i've pushed my flops seen back up to around 33%, and all of a sudden i'm making money again.

I just got through reading phil gordons little green book, and when i got to the end he mentions the different playing styles of different pros. He talked about gus hansen with a slightly more aggressive, "see a lot of flops cheap get paid big" philosophy.

does anyone here play this style profitably, or think it's possible?

sorry for the long post, but i'm quite confused.
