Re: why am i so bad?
"it just occurred to me that in about half the pots i win, i don't have the best hand...i am not called. does this indicate anything?"
It might. If you're playing "by the book" Tight your opponents probably have a good read on you and have a pretty good idea when they're beat-or when they beat you. Mix up your bet levels, especially PF and at different positions. Don't pop 4x bets in EP w/AA/AQ/KK/etc. every time. Range them out between 2X and 5X. There's nothing wrong with min-betting AA sometimes because what you lose in equity you more than gain in opponent confusion. They're much less likely to accurately put you on a certain hand or range and that's good all-around equity right there!
Also, re-examine the plays where you didn't have the best hand yet you won without a showdown. See what you did in those hands and how Villains reacted to it. It might provide some answers.
