Thanks for the reply Jason.

I've been very nitty throughout $2NL and $5NL, and I'm eager to open up my ranges more and take more flops/become more of a menace in position, but when I tried..it didn't really work out. I think I'm just going to nit it up throughout the stakes until it proves itself unprofitable because alot of players aren't paying much attention, so trying to throw them off with fancy plays is just pointless. To make nitting it up work though at $10NL and $25NL, I'll need to start working harder at table selection and seat selection since every new level seems to have a few more grinders.

I imagine once I reach $50NL or $100NL I will need to start 3-betting more and working on balancing ranges etc. to keep the reg's from picking off my exact hand. IMO trying to do these things at $10NL is a waste of time, even the 'regs' don't pay attention because they're mostly 8 tabling tagg-fish. Looks like I'll continue just being the tight-ass I am and get back to taking money.

I also noticed that at $10NL there's alot of tight/passive players who will just flat call big pairs to the river after limp/calling preflop. I figure if I just play tight against these guys instead of trying to get them to fold a good hand I should do alright.
