Conventional wisdom might be just value betting, but really looking more deeply at bluffs, semi bluffs, c-betting, raising in position, etc.. Hard to break it down I guess, but just interested in anyone's deep analysis or failing that their gut.

That's it in a nutshell! All those 10s of thousands of hands downloaded into pokertracker & QQ+ AK was where so much of the profit came from.
When it comes to the "meta-game" aspect of it, a lot of my money comes from [in no particular order]:
1. Quitting better than the vast majority of other players.
2. Tilting less than the vast majority of other players & being able to walk away from the game, no matter how good it is, when I'm in the wrong frame of mind.
3. Having position more often than my opponents.
4. Giving up as little information as possible. For instance, if I'm suppose to show 1st & know my V will show if I say something like "Your flush is good" & get him to show so I can muck face down; that's what I do.
5. Not playing 6 handed in a weak game when it's a full rake house. Leaving if it's really weak, even if it is a 1/2 rake.
6. Table selection & seeking out the best table throughout my session on a 45 min to 1 hr period unless mine is really good.
7. Willing to change tables in a heartbeat for many reasons.
8. Knowing I can play nothing but QQ+ unless I'm OTB, CO, HJ or Steal Seat & still grind out an ok profit.
9. Knowing to tighten up when I'm running bad & loosen up when I'm running good - to a point.
10. Remembering that those who chase straights or flushes, usually end up riding home on buses.......unless.......they love the price tag.
11. Remembering that I came to win money, not play poker & fold, fold, fold, without getting irritated when I'm getting nothing but mediocre hands.
12. [Which is a component of 4] Knowing my Vs better than they know me.
