hand selection have to be balanced, not too tight and not too loose
if you are too loose you have a lot chances to bust out but if you are too tight you become predictable
Playing tight doesn't necessarily mean that you should limp in. It generally means that you should be more selective about the hands that you play. When you have a hand you think you should play then you should raise if you are the first to enter the pot or if there has been a previous limper and you have a monster like AA or KK.Seems like it drains all my chips if I play too tight. I have played hours in one game limped in caught the best possibilty and then called and caught drawing out turn and river. Some make the "wtf" calls anyway lol puts me in tilt then I lose focus and play like crap.
