personally you want to play more expansive poker imo learning and using position and other such plays more often. Yes there isnt much difference from 50nl and 100nl but still get used to playing poker not rock like poker. If you play as suggested above everyone has you labelled quickly and you get no action nadda
and anyone who thinks differnently must play at a whole lotta sites different from me
i agree, that stratergy above is so readable

i play ALOT of poor hands from late position, and i have the disapline to get away from my top pair when i sense i am out kicked

at first i tried to play really tight tourny style in ring games but this got me nowhere
I care a lot about statistics.
I track every hand I play.
I average 20BBs/100 or more at every level 200NL and below
(up to over 40 at 25NL 6 max)

I play no where near 35% of my hands in a full ring game.
It is not about the hands you play, but the spots you pick to play them.
I will fold Q9s in late position 90% of the time.
Sometimes I will reraise with it. You have to learn the difference, and this comes with experience.

Laeelin has the best posts so far. If you are not winning at ring, you are playing too many hands and going too far with them.First learn what hands are profitable, then add the hands that you can play in position.

It sounds like you have a lot more faith in your game than is warranted.
There is a reason that it is suggested to play few hands. It is because it is a winning strategy. PERIOD. Only a great player with a huge amount of experience can play more.

FIRST learn to win,
THEN learn what hands you can add to increase your profit.
