Remember that this isn't a tournament, so wielding your big stack as a weapon isn't going to work. That said,

- Defending blinds isn't important in NL
- Just because you have a big stack doesn't mean you have to drastically change your playing style. Sure you can play a few more speculative hands assuming all the other stacks are big as well.
- Calling raises with any two is spew.
- Limping OOP is mostly spew.
- Raising with any two is spew.
- Raising OTB after limpers can be a good play but raising any two is spew.
- $7/hr seems pretty reasonable to me but I have no idea whether that's actually big/normal/small.

Edit: And people walking away from a 200 BI game with 2k-5k is most certainly a huge positive variance rush and has little to do with playing excellent or whatever. It's just a matter of flopping 15 sets in a night and getting paid off on all of them.
