Just a general question since the $1500 Cap Bellagio, $4k Capped Venetian, and Un-capped games all play so different.
Are you taking shots with the right mind frame? If you are as nitty as you say. What is your three bet range, and responding to late position 3 bets to your early position open raises? 4 bet light range?
Are you isoing the tourists? Avoiding trap hands against the nit/fish regs?
I've played 5/10 everywhere, most of my sessions are at Venetian and I play 2/5 more often than not
Playing 5/10 is not a shot. I'm over rolled for the game, I just don't play it when its not good because there's no good reason to play in reggy games when there are soft 2/5 games available.
I don't really discuss strategy on here. Your questions are pretty open ended and to answer them properly I'd have to include a lot of "it depends". The short answers to your questions (in order starting with the 3bet range question) are it depends, usually folding, narrow, sometimes, and usually yes.
No doubt the issue has been a mental one rather than a technical one, but shot taking hasn't had anything to do with it since its been a problem at 2/5 and 5/10. Additionally, like I said before, 5/10 is not "taking a shot" for me. Its just playing in the best game that day that I'm rolled for.
