Default back to playing nolimit....playing limit made me more fishy

for the past 5-6 months I played strictly limit 2-4 and 3-6. I started playing NL again about a week ago and one thing I find is that I am quite fishier then I used to be.

I find myself calling 10 to 20 with flush/str8 draws, calling 4xBB raises with low pairs, and limping in ALOT with hands like 89suited,109suited,10Q,K10, etc etc regardless of position. Another interesting thing is I find I am rasing less now than before, my PFR was somewhere around 8-10% before and now it is around 2-3%.

Has anyone experienced the same thing, and what do u think of this playing style ( so far it has worked out well).

Suited connectors suck at low stakes. Ditch 'em entirely, or just play them in position with at least 2 limpers infront of you. Calling raises with low pairs is goot, best way to double up. Call when you're getting odds (or close enough) with draws, fold them otherwise. And play suited aces in position in unraised pots too, they have monster implied odds if you get a flush over flush.

Some. If you really want to learn NL, start by reading the MHNL forum regularly, it's the best way to improve. Unfortunately, that forum has kind of gone downhill lately, but most of the posters there are absolutely fabulous. Read anything by Fimbulwinter, El Diablo, Bruiser, Cero_Z, Kanekungfu, JasonStrassa, TheBadGuy, etc.

I don't think this is necessarily a collection of the greatest threads ever, but it's still good reading material. Fimbulwinter has made a couple of really outstanding posts in the SSNL forum that I unfortunately don't have the link to, but hopefully someone will be kind enough to link it up after seeing this. Grunchcan made a list of some helpful threads also.

What you describe doesn't even sound like a good strategy for 2/4, 3/6 limit. How did you pick up these habits?
