Default How do you switch gears when you\'re losing (and losing table respect)?

So, you're playing your normal TAG game and nothing is working. Every time you steal-raise, the BB flops a pair. None of your draws are hitting and you've been looked up on a river bluff or two. Suddenly, you are getting the feel that noone is respecting your raises, and everyones sure they can beat you.

The question is, how do you adjust your play? Clearly you want to play fewer hands and play those hands aggressively (but you probably already play those hands aggresively). I'm guessing that you give up the pure bluff on the river. What other changes do you make? For example:

- Should you value bet more on marginal hands?

- Should you fold your blind steal situations?

- Should you play fewer drawing hands under the philosophy that they're likely to play aggressively against you?

- Should you quit this game if your opponents are of average quality?

- What other changes to you tell yourself to make?
