I play cash games to make money. Every hand I aim to make the play that makes me the most money in the long run. Keep in mind, that I will make some plays that in isolation are bad, but part of a broader wildly profitable game. However, I make one key exception in a NLHE cash game. I will pass on marginal edges pre-flop and/or in small pots to avoid making difficult decisions for lots of money post-flop, although if my opponents didn't regularly make really stupid and transparent plays I probably would be forced to be more active.

If I see 2 pre-flop nits in the blinds and it's folded to my button, I'm raising any 2 and probably am done with the hand if I don't take it down right away or flop big. It's a play I expect to generate a few cents in expectation and show some action so I get paid with stronger holdings. The last thing I want to do there is play a big pot, if re-raised by 72o I'm folding, feeling good about it and saying "good for you sir."

Smart, winning players have said the goal of NLHE is to stack someone.

Is there a flaw in my thinking? Am I still grasping to Limit thinking?
