Grow a pair of middle age testicles and get aggressive. Poker is not a winning game for passive people

It just so happens that some people whose homes are in Belgium know more about Las Vegas, greater Los Angeles, and other mainland poker games than the people who might actually play in them.
Who knew?

I'm a big fan of the "until you're bored" strategy. Move down to 1/2 and play tight lock down poker (only ever raise or fold preflop, play a very tight preflop range, only value bet or strong semi bluff) until you're bored to tears. Until you're thinking if I have to fold one more hand I'm going to quit poker. Then start to open up your game just a little bit. 3 bet the occasional weaker hand, try a few bluff stabs at pots that people don't seem interested in. Again keep that up until your are bored to death. Then open up a little more and so on.
