Sort of as a follow up, I've been playing much tighter, only getting to/past the flop with the more "reccommended" starting cards, and I'm getting killed, really. The problem is, you go in with KK, and bet it hard, and even after a rag flop, anyone with an ace or a draw hangs around, no one raises the bet (after I do), so anyone with a draw doesn't leave. If an ace comes up on the turn or river, you pretty much know you're dead. You just can't put the pressure on enough to push folks out, at least I haven't, except for the one game I discussed earlier, where folks just started running away from me. You (obviously) need to be pretty successful on the hands you decide to play, if you only play a couple an hour to make up for the blinds.

So, it seems I need to get even more tight/agressive, go back and see if my prior/looser way works, or change games. Good news is I'll clear my bonus here this weekend, and be able to get off the limit tables and play a few SnG's, which I am quickly coming to prefer. At this point, it's still all just an experiment.
