Default Improving my post-flop play

I'm quite tight right now. I'm good with playing pre-flop. I want to get better at playing after the flop...Negreanu-ish if you will.

Does it require I get into more pots, to get the feel of if my 75s is in the lead?
Is focussing on my opponents' tactics when I'm out of the hand good enough?

I'm doing plenty of book-learning (I'm a little late in picking up SSHE, but I'm about to, along with HOH2).

Play 6m. Make marginal decisions. Make them correctly.

Not to let the cat out of the bag but more hands+worse players=more money at 6m.

What if sometimes you feel like one of the "worse players"?

this may not apply but...
if you are not raising suited connectors, low medium pocket pairs in late position, not just as an open raise, but with limpers, start doing it. This really helped me with weak tight play. By taking the early initiative, you can pick up a lot of pots that you would have check folded with out the preflop raising.

Well if you sometimes feel like one of the worse players (hell, I'm the worst player [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]) then that is good. It means you have room to improve at the level you are playing at. Just try to stay focus and learn from your mistakes. Also, always try to learn from your opponents. Even donks make good plays sometimes. Especially ones who are the hyper-aggro donks playing 6m. You can learn a lot from their aggression, you just have to know when to apply it instead of being super-aggro all the time which is why they are donks.
