Different players have different styles, Ron. There is no one correct way.
Personally, I will look to see a cheap flop from late position while the blinds are low, especially if I am holding something with the possibility to make a concealed monster if I hit the flop hard.
In other words, a small pair looking for a set, or connectors looking for the straight. Suited cards are less useful. Unless the other players at the table are very loose, they will be wary of a board with flush possibilities and unwilling to risk a large part of their stacks.
From Early or Mid position, I will play very tight during the first hour of a freezeout and bin anything less than a Group 1, 2 or 3 hand. Even a 3 may go in the muck, depending on reads and situation.
My aim is to win one big pot and double up by the first break. I don`t care about contesting small pots, too much risk for too little gain.
