you cant just eek out some scratch by playing only the best hands. you have to be able to read your opponent and exploit him for that extra BB. just playing fit/fold limit will get you killed at all but the lowest stakes.

yes, its a different animal to some degree. but, the principles are the same. deny odds when you can. steal the blinds. however, defend YOUR blinds much more often. use a c/r. dont bluff as much in medium and large pots, but definitely pounce on smaller ones against the right players.

LHE is mathematical exploitation backed up by a little mix of big ball syndrome. be aggressive, but not when your villain isnt likely to fold off middle pair.

and, realize that most times that guy chased, he was correct to do so beause of the odds or the fact there were 4 people in the pot. therefore, play your draws. mid pair and a gutter is a pretty decent hand in a multiway pot. and, mid pair and a solid flush draw should be jammed. those are two scenarios that are vastly different than tourney or NL games.
