That's a really good advice, and I agree totally, but how many times out of, let's say, 100 hands you get a hand like AQs, TT, AK or KQs?If you think that is your problem, then buy in for cash games at the minimum (or very close to the minimum). Play VERY tight range AJs + KQ and TT+, then play VERY aggressively with those hands.
Many evenings I've played SUPER tight on Full Tilt cash tables, just to gradually lose more than half my buy-in blinds. And if I've just folded 40 hands, do you think anyone will even call my 4BB raise?
I'd love to see the super tight playing style pay off, but it just doesn't work in real life. I seem to always lose that way, playing only one hand in 25 or so. After 45 minutes I'm frustrated, after one rebuy the size of a half my stack, with only a fraction of my initial chips left (the blinds do cost you a lot in the long run). Finally with my last chips I go all-in with AKo, get two callers and lose to a T9o. After a couple of hours I'm minus $10 or something, after winning maybe one all-in.
Back in those days I was a winning player at the 0.10/0.25 tables only when I dared played more hands than then top ten.
