Re: New Style of Play Earns Big Success

I've stopped playing suited-connectors (unless AK or KQ) & suited-Aces.

If you can get in cheap this is probably a mistake.

I've stopped limping in Pre-Flop.

In limit you can sometimes limp behind but this is certainly a good habit.

I've stopped calling from the Small Blind with marginal hands.

Again, you'll need to difine marginal. KTs in a 6 way pot should be a limp.

I've stopped calling raised pots from the Big Blind with marginal hands.
[/ QUOTE ]
Again, you're probably missing out on value here. Especially in NL if your stacks are deep.

I've stopped calling small pairs (77 or lower) in a raised pot fearing domination or a coin flip.
[/ QUOTE ]
This is fine if you're playing NL on a short-stack. But if deep, you can take someone's whole stack when you hit your set.

I've stopped playing AQoff, AJoff, KQoff, KJ, 10Joff, K10.

If you've stopped playing them in limit hold-em you're leaving much $ on the table.
Overall it sounds like you're playing very few hands very strongly. This might be ok but you're not going to improve much--how can you when you don't play post-flop?--and as you move up you're going to win less and less.
