After lurking here for a while, it seems like a large amount of hand advice is "fold that crap preflop" and i just read "fold to the checkraise."
I'm assuming most of this advice pertains to full games (10 people) so your hand has to be solid to hold up.
In general do you (profitable) players hold strictly to HPFAP group hands like 1-3 EP, 1-5MP, and 1-5 LP and raising only the top hands?
Also does this advice change in NL, where you can more easily throw in a large amount of money to bluff/buy a pot, or to scare someone off who has a drawing hand?
I'm inexperienced at limit, have only played 3-6 in AC and small limits on PP and it seems like every hand is a showdown. What if you raise with AKs and the flop is all rags? Am I just impatient if I want to play more hands in a full table than just the group 1-3 hands?
Sorry for the rambling, relatively pointless post. I think my main question is in the Subject - can you be too tight? any comments welcome,
