It looks like you have a pretty good strategy there, spresso81 and you know what you are talking about. Some of the things you said though I think are a little too loose for online play. Like raising alot from Middle Postion. I find that if I stick in a good size raise then I will be getting call alot more than not, especially from the button, and then you have to go to the flop with a marignal hand. If Im playing in a ring game then I usually like to play hands that I can take to the showdown for a profit, because of all the looser players who will usually pay you off when you have top pair and they have second pair.

The most important thing that you said, I though was what I quoted above. There are a lot of beggining players who make a move with out really thinking about it. Its really important to have a reason behind every decision you make . That also helps you because if you get draw out you wont feels as bad because you know you made the right decision.

I also think that it might be a good time for you to move up in the levels. I really seems like you could do well in some of the medium stake games.
