Well.. thing is.. if I stick to my 2/3-3/4 pot bets, this works out fine too. But it's too slow to my liking. I kinda want to make money faster. But if I only go heavy on my strong hands (2 pair and better), I' m getting folds too often since it's rare. So I look for occassions that I can bet strongly (over the pot) more often without leaking too much money. I'll end up getting more calls on my stronger hands, which I want to play for big pots, since I play a general more aggro style (this makes people want to call you down). I' m still working a lot on fine-tuning my style however, so changes are possible, but this is how I tend to play it now.
(unless I feel like not really concentrating or am at a retard table, then I go standard weak/ tight)
I understand where you are coming from about the money not coming fast enough. You must play smart and good though nonetheless. Maybe you are doing fine w/ your overbets. If so great. I'm just giving you the suggestion cuz I believe it could help your game. And I think you should rarely play weak/tight. You can still be pretty freaking aggressive and get big hands called by betting 2/3-3/4 the pot. About the money thing again, how many tables do you play? I began 8-tabling last week and OMG the money comes in sooo much faster. Of course you need a solid game to begin with, and it's probably easier doing it in full ring, but I suggest you try it once you are comfy with the idea. Once you get the hang of it you'll never look back.
