it's a myth that you won't get paid off if you're a rock. People aren't that smart, and they have their own reasons for being in a hand. I've played from $10NL to $1000NL and I've never had a problem getting paid for being a rock. Multi-tabling is a good way to tighten your game if you get bored easily. And don't overvalue YOUR tptk in a loose passive game. You'll get burned. The biggest skill - once you know how to play tight and bet right - is recognizing when you're beat. That's where people lose money. They fall in love with their hand and the 50blinds they've won in the last hour go bye-bye in 1 stupid mistake. Every mistake you eliminate makes you money.
