Just Rambling...

When wondering about the different types of poker players, I have often considered myself to be the "strong-tight" type of player. However, the more I reflect, I might be the "weak-tight" type of player. I usually only play really solid hands, I don't limp often and when I raise, I raise enough to say "I've got a strong hand." But this doesn't seem to matter at the levels I play. Raises are not respected. Players call with any two cards. And they will call any raise. Also, players will raise with any two cards and I do mean any two. Table image means nothing. I've seen lots of players stick it all in with A-7. That is a terrible hand. But playing at these levels (.25 and .50 NL) has change the way I view myself. Tight-solid is the same as tight-weak. If you aren't willing to call and raise with any two cards, these levels are tough to beat. My raises are not respected and I give too much respect to my opponents raises. I'm not sure if higher limits is the answer though I did have much better success at higher limits on Pokerroom. I think the anti gambling legislation in the U.S. has driven a lot of the easy money out of the game and I doubt this will ever change.

Anyone have any thoughts about this?
