Default Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.

Become self-conscious of your tightness.

Too much respect: You need to be able to go, "Oh, I haven't raised a hand since two orbits go, it's time to raise." Best done in LP. Do it with dubious holdings like suited two-gappers like J8s. If called, bet or reraise any flop as if you have a strong hand. You can sbow if they fold.

Play draws more strongly, but less obviously. Too many people push on the flush draw, reraise it like you have a hand and want to build the pot.

Reraise preflop with air, it scares them because they think you only do this with aces or kings.

Getting played back at by bad players: This is great for when you hit. No complaint here. When it happens too often start being prepared to 3bet all-in with jacks or queens on the flop.



I think being more chatty might help indirectly too. It makes you seem more active. Not just a rock who perks up everytime they're dealt a group 1 holding.
