This is what I'm trying to become too.

So what i'm getting is at that even at 200NL, I'm not winning 'cos I'm so damn good. I win because I do simple things correctly over and over again, with the occasional dash of brilliance and the ability to fold a second best more frequently than others. I hardly ever make a read. As i mentioned i don't often bluff. I don't really have the ability to sense weakness. I still do call down in the wrong spot and give up on pots i should try for. In other words, I'm winning 'cos I'm not that bad.
Well, that is essentially the trick to getting consistent results in everything. I pray I can become "not that bad" as you

And getting most of your money out of the hands where the odds are in your favor and not when the odds are against you.. makes perfect sense right?

How do you improve? try to widen up our game? Is it worth it to take a dip in profit-making and play 1 table to try to 'play better'? or learn to play 6-max. Or is it better to just keep being less bad (better discipline, emotional stability, fold trash, fold those second best hands more frequently... etc.)?
If I were to make good money over the long run, I wouldn't change a thing. But that's just me.

Very nice post btw.. even though you're being very modest, you kinda describe how to beat this game
(it's rolling out of my printer now for future reference)

..oh yeah and one last thing.. the main thing to improve on is probably people reading skills.
