Thanks for the replies.

I've noticed that I definitely have to become looser preflop, and I believe more passive too. My preflop raises always seem to get called. Now I just kinda randomly throw in raises preflop and randomly bluff at the flop. I rarely go past the turn without anything.

There is definitely a lot of reading involved. But I'm kinda lost as to what my standard raise should be...the stacks are about the same relative to the blinds as level 2-3. I think I have to learn to randomize my raises a lot more than earlier in the game (btwn 2.5-5xbb).

Mostly though, I try to just maintain my stack until the blinds go up without trying exceptionally hard to build it (as I feel like I'm playing at an 8th grade level). Is this a leak? I guess I'll get more comfortable as I get in the situation more.

Thats enough babbling....for now.

Edit: Maybe I'd be better off at Party. (I'm planning to switch but only after I earn enough FPPs on stars so that I can get that chip set...might as well get something out of that crappy pseudo rakeback)
