A couple of comments:

1. Be sure you are able to read well when your opponent is not going to lay down -- either because of strength or tilt or foolishness.

2. Deception is great, but it works both ways. Watch out for players who cold call your bets.

3. Although it sucks, getting beat by someone who limps with AA is not a bad beat.

4. A friend of mine plays very much the same way at my home game -- and leaves empty-handed every time. Watch your back!
