Thanks Jack that all makes a lot of sense.

Pelion - I have noticed occasionally I really REALLY get pushed around by aggro players. I think my table image suffers as a result and sometimes others jump on the bandwagon when they know I will fold to a re-raise. I have no problem with this when I am getting hands but I think I am losing a lot of value from hands like 1010 - QQ and even when I raise smaller pocket pairs only to be pushed around. Without decents reads which I am still learning it kind of leaves me in no mans land on how to effectively deal with these types.

In hand 4 villain called with 89s and in hand 5 villain raised with AK. Is folding either one of these hands an option because that is what my weak tightness often leads me to do?

Thanks for the advice and I will make sure I don't force things to compromise what has been a pretty good start to my poker playing.
