Re: Tight table questions
If you are not used to playing these types of tight tables I'd recommend:
1. Make it your only table, and pay close attention.
2. Ease up on some of the uber-agressive techniques in early position. It isn't a crime to dump ATo in MP1.
3. Step on the gas in CO, Button wherever it is reasonable. Expect to be played back at, and don't call down with Jack high.
4. If you have any cold-calling in your game, put it aside for the day.
5. If your game enjoys the benefits of limping small pocket pairs and suited aces in early position, it won't be beneficial at these tables. You'll pay 2 bets pre-flop, and won't be able to extract as well if you do hit.
6. You make money at poker by playing better cards against worse players. You don't make it by playing worse cards against better players. Expect a grind. Your swings may be smaller, but so will your profit.
7. Stay aware of the cost of the blinds. If you are running cold, and aren't seated where you can grab some blinds it's going to be a long boring losing session.
8. Remember there are hundreds of other tables with folks ready to play you. Don't feel you need to prove something to yourself.
