Yeah, I remember reading this, although I can't remember whether it was in ToP or SSH. This is why I normally like to limp in on those borderline hands, although I agree with salsa and usually fold them if I' m UTG/ UTG+1.
Not that it matters, but I am pretty sure this quote originated from Mike Caro.
As for the OP, I think it is probably less frustrating to play tight. I think as you grow as a player though, you should start playing more of those borderline hands. I am not talking about 73o, but KQo from early position is often worth a raise. It sucks if you get reraised... but these are the situations you have to eventually learn to deal with.
However, as this is the beginner's circle, I will add that this type of opening up your game should not be done until you are a documented winner to the game; not just when you think "well, I'm good enough to try some new stuff now"
Also, you should change your style slowly... not make drastic changes and hope they all work out together.
If you start playing a lot more hands,and the way you play each of those hands, then you start to win less money(or lose more), how will you know what change it was that hurt you, and which ones helped?
Good Luck.
