Thoughts on playing preflop for high pot only...

[Go Blue]

After playing (tens of) thousands of hands of low FIXED limit O8, I'm rethinking the whole strategy of playing high cards preflop. I've been fairly successfull at this game overall, but I'm beginning to think that these hands are costing me money. I'm primarily talking about all cards 10 or higher, excluding trips and quads. I believe I read somewhere that these hands should be played (aggressively?) preflop and it makes sense because if you're trying to scoop the pot, you have a good chance at scooping should the board not contain a low possibility. But I've been realizing how difficult it is to hit flops with these kinds of hands and when you do manage to win something, you're splitting a lot of the time. So...am I doing something wrong here? Perhaps...should I be playing these hands only in position and only when I can raise and somewhat isolate? Or maybe, only play when there's a suited ace at minimum? Thoughts? Thanks.
