I'm actually reading this "shit" too, lol. Sorry that you had to drop down, but I like reading about other 5NL's.

As far as your idea above, I'd rethink it. It sounds like you are contemplating bluffing more often. I think that will turn out to be a bigger leak. Just chill out and try not to lose big hands. Don't be in a hurry to win monies. I've had tons (a few) of OESD + Nut Flush draws and lately they have been missing. But, I didn't lose a lot of money because I didn't risk a lot.

You can go aggro if you want, but I'd say you need a real good read to do it. If you wait for good hands, really, patiently wait, they will come and others will spew chips to you. If you are getting a great price to call to a draw, then do it for sure, but don't chase. Try to eliminate varience by not getting too much money in badly and not bluffing much. Bluffing for big pots is especially bad. It's hard to bluff successfully at the micros because if villian has a hand, he doesn't like to fold. That makes it profitable to bet good hands and bluff less.
