yea thats what i understand as well.but like is it playing a draw passively versus aggressively in order to not be able to be easily read by opponents.mixing it up, playing hands that you wouldnt usualy play is what it means to me.
this is pretty much the idea.Changing it up could refer to hand selection. I know I like to widen my range up some, once I've established a tight, aggressive image. But I think it means more than that. To me it means changing up you post flop play as well. Alternating between leading out when you hit the flop and check raising or even check calling against an aggressive player who will bet it for you. This will allow you to see turns and rivers for free when your opponent can't be sure that you're not slow playing a monster.
^^+1my advice is dont worry about it. Just work on making optimal decisions.
eheheheheheh.hear that micul.^^+1

Everyone keeps saying to never limp. While this is not terrible advice, I think limping can be fine at times. For example, I play regularly in a pretty soft, live game. I find it to be very profitable to limp with small to med pocket pairs to set mine. If I were playing against very good players I would do this much less often, but in this particular game it's a very effective move.
As far as the subject of mixing it up goes, I think in most cases it's a way over-valued concept. In higher stakes vs good opponents it's important, but it's too often an excuse to do stupid things. You should try to play every hand in a way that makes sense on it's own. Also, there's usually more than one good line that can be taken with a hand. You can mix it up and be less predictable without doing minus ev plays.
