the most important factors for success
I have been playing SSNL for a short time, but from my experience there are two factors that far and away contribute to one's profitability, even for someone with leaks in their game.
1. Table Selection
I think this is THE key to success. Just one fishy maniac can make the table extremely profitable. On the other hand, getting the money at a table full of smart, tight players is like getting blood from a stone.
2. Correct use of implied odds
For example, against players who you know can't get away from overpairs. So many times I have called pre-flop raises with a small pair or suited connector, caught a big hand, and stacked off an opponent holding a large pair. Many of my big pots are won by chasing with strong implied odds.
Thoughts?
