I probably underestimate myself. I certainly adjust and make plays appropriate to the tightness/looseness of the game, in general, as well as to specific types of players (loose-passive, tight-passive, etc.). And if you take "plays" to mean things like deception (e.g. making a high buried pair look like you're on a draw and then check-raising trips or two pair when it looks like your draw busted out); check-raising to get in extra bets/get a hand heads up/get a free card; semi-bluffing at appropriate times; playing weaker hands with high implied odds; then I guess I do play creatively.
Do we agree on this - that most "plays" add to your profits, while the patience to play quality hands as long as you have +EV, and the discipline to fold them when you don't, keeps you from losing money in the first place?

Sorry, the gulp factor at 5/10 is still a little high right now. But not too long ago, I thought that a .50/1.00 game was a big deal, so maybe someday...
