Limit Hold em is played for small edges over a course of time. Looking for the proper payback on each dollar bet takes skill and patience. Pot odds are key, starting hands are vital and strong post flop play is mandatory. Lacking any part of this will kill your bankroll.
There is an old poker saying that still works, even in todays wild and reckless games we see.

Is this the 100% The Don play, well no. I do mix the hands up now and then. But not often and if I never did mix up the play I bet my results would be th same if not better.
POST FLOP PLAY SOON
