I build up a stack by playing aggressively and then switch to a fit or fold strategy, which quickly becomes transparent and exploitable. The adjustment I have to make to that exploitation is not optimal. So I just wind up making less and less money over time.
With regard to balance, that's an excellent point and maybe it's the whole thing.
KQo is a very marginal opening hand for me UTG but I like playing small pp in early position and its the same exact thing, it doesn't take long to figure out the limp-call-donk line. I mix it up with JJ and TT, sometimes limp and sometimes open raise. However I think I need to open raise small pp more often, cuz I never limp QQ+ here.
