Your basing all this off of one table. Probably just a freak table. Sometimes the fish win. Its the same game. The NL 200 is cheese. Tight aggresive is the way to start out a new move up untill you feel comfy.

Not bluffing can be a winning strategy at almost any level depending on your opponents.

OP- This is how I think about poker... It's like a 63 vet with a 327... And a car like that purrs at all speeds. When you're driving it though, you need to be able to determine when you should be in first and when you should be in fifth. Working on these gears (1-5th) and improving your abilities with them is what makes average players great players. While intelegence can make a difference between good and great players, instinct and experience are just as important. I know a lot of brilliant people that can't read worth a damn and, partly due to the ego that accompanies that brilliance, will never be able to consistantly beat an average table because they outplay themselves or get too hung up on numbers. Limit poker is mechanical... a calculus problem that can be beaten by a player that has almost no feeling for nuance. Drill and Kill, as they say... On the other hand, NLH, is a work of art. It's the 63 sting ray that can be driven at 5mph or at 155mph.
Also, don't be so hung up on results. Hang up on proper play. Proper play will always lead to winning play in the long run. If you're a 2:1 favorite, you'll lose one in three times. Read from this forum, get better, work on your gears. If you have any specific questions, feel free to pm me.
