Okay, are you asking what happens if you play tighter? It seems that is your question? You will win but you will win less over time, although your losses may be smaller dependant on how much selection you have of players to play against.

Against poor or new players (calling stations in training)you will do okay, against average or better players your win rate will plummet and the blinds will be a serious drain on your buyin.

The reason this is because if you do not give me action, do not expect any in return. Or simply put, you are moving into rock territory where only the nieve and foolish pay you off.

For the marginal situations, right now you have the time, why not figure out what hands are what away from the table? It is more effective than trying to learn by osmosis.
