Recently I've been playing .25/.50 blind NL exclusively, and its been treating me very well. I realized that most of my profit comes from other people making mistakes. I've been trying to play fairly straight up, only getting tricky with monsters. Most importantly, I've been improving at manipulating the pot size to cause others to make mistakes. Betting the pot+ on the flop to ruin odds for draws, etc...
In retrospect I probably should have bet even harder than I did, but in the moment I thought I was charging him enough.
Sometimes the river is the best card in the deck. /images/graemlins/cool.gif
