Ok... I don't care if I get flammed.

When you are running bad or as I believe in your case just not having played enough, have dish-a-prin (lmao) and.. TIGHTEN UP!

Play in posistion.
Learn to read the board.
Study your opponents. (Do not call an all in when you have 2nd or 3rd best against a TAG player)

Im sure there is more but that is a LOT for someone to work on.

In my opinion, nitting it the fuck up is the way to go.  Variance is low, and with everyone trying to always be aggressive, you still get action when you get the goods.  It's been said before poker is always on a pendulum going back and forth, and I tend to think more passive play letting others bluff their chips, has been working a lot for me.

This is just a generalization, as i'll be the aggressor if everyone at the table is playing tight etc. 

Don't get too nitty... you will never have enough chips to win a tournament this way unless you get run the ef over by the deck.  BTW I do tend to agree that rocking up may be a good adjustment to th eway the game is played right now, but you still have to be agressive.  Whatever style you choose be it tight or loose, agression is always a key. Most people don't understand the difference between LAG and TAG.  In both you are in there raising, not calling much.  LAG just means your starting hand requirements are looser, not that you are flatting then calling flops.  You are still only opening generally, then trying to put opponents to the test.

I agree with what you say completely.  By nitting it up, I don't mean to have lack of aggression all together.  Still have to raise when you do decide to play a hand, and still be willing to make continuation bet, or proper reraises, based on the situation, just a lot more selectively then the blind aggression a lot of the players possess.
