Default Re: Starting hands theory

[ QUOTE ]
I suppose this is my key question. Should I fall back to playing style 1 hands and raise only with early position style 1 hands. And call with style 1 middle position hands?

The answer to your question is that you probably have it right. HOWEVER, note that the aggressive or super-aggressive style is going to give you a lot of really tough/marginal post-flop decisions. Judging by the tone of your post and the fact that you're still thinking in terms of "early position hands", etc. I would STRONGLY recommend that you play no looser than the conservative style as outlined in the book (and you should almost certainly be playing tighter than that if you're talking about short-stacked MTTs or most online sit-n-gos) until you have a feel for when you can push marginal hands and develop more card sense.
