18.5/8.5 at 25NL 6 max help

[Alpha13]

NL has really put me into a shell because I'm afraid to play aggresive when my whole stack is always at risk. I'm playing very tight from EP, i may limp strong speculative hands (suited connectors or small-mid PPs) but I won't raise stuff like KJ (I'll limp if it's suited) Being out of position sucks.

Can anyone relate to this? I don't think I'm the only weak tighie here. I know I need to start doing more because even my not so observant competition can tell how tight I'm playing and don't pay off. Suggestions are welcome.

Thanks

Yes, it does, the same way being in position rules. Raise more liberally from late position.

That's good.

That is inevitable. But there should be enough unobservant donks at your tables to make up for it.

Raise more to buy position.
Raise with KJ almost everytime, and fold the rest.
Raise a lot of stuff from late position and don't limp much at all.

Your numbers are pretty good, but you could definitely loosen up. There is absolutely no reason to change anything at PP25. You may think your opponents are observant, but they're not. If you find opponents aren't paying you off, then move tables. There are tons of fish at PP25.
